Maybe a float with the Hitches and Kinnehans next year.

Bit of an outrageous comparison.

TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR has marched alongside Conor McGregor in the St Patrick’s Day parade in Chicago today.
The Taoiseach followed his tradition of marching in the New York parade last year by taking to the streets of Chicago to march in the city’s parade this time around.
Government officials were left surprised when McGregor arrived to march in the parade, which he led alongside the city’s mayor, Rahm Emanuel.
However, officials were not been informed that the MMA star – who was charged with “strong arm robbery and criminal mischief” in Florida this week – would be appearing, saying that the decision was made by Emanuel’s office.
Varadkar’s appearance at the parade followed his meeting with US President Donald Trump in the White House on Thursday, before the Taoiseach arrived in Chicago last night.
He attended the St Patrick’s Day dinner hosted by the Irish Fellowship Club of Chicago.

Still allowed strut down the streets of America I see, despite his second physical assault conviction hanging over him? Wow, and anyone else has to practically beg to enter the good old US of A and if we had any convictions, no matter how minor, its a minefield of paperwork to ever get back in.
Different rules for him, obviously.

Strong armed robbery.. that's effin brilliant,glad to see that the Americans see and realise how important mobile phones are personally and how much they mean to people. I think here in this Country mobile phone robbery should be upgraded to a more serious offence with stricter fines and or jail terms.

The same people are not good at thinking if that’s the case. The guy just seems like a VERY immature knob. He’ll likely look back in years to come when his name and talent are long forgotten and be like...:eek::(

He was at the top of his sport, respected around the globe, a potentially SERIOUSLY marketable force in term of revenue maker both for himself and companies yet he’d rather be out there rowing and smashing up property that when all is taken into account is the only behavior that can and is destroying his reputation within the sport, globally in terms of marketability and respect too. It’s all on him, he needs to focus on the Octagon, the ‘sport’, knowing when to keep his mouth shut and knowing when to walk away with his head held high.

Ireland's libel laws are far far too strict. It takes an American and British publication to make this news officially public.

It really is something that should be addressed in the interest of transparency for the country.

Agent Coulson · 26-03-2019 11:17pm

He may have had a super injunction in place to stop the media in Ireland reporting anything.

So the best way for that to be broken is for it to be reported in another country.

We have seen this happen many times in the UK when celebrities and people of interest to the public have super injunctions in place only for them to be broken in other countries.

willowthewisp · 26-03-2019 11:24pm

Very interesting how this comes out just as he “retires”. I thought this story was buried.
Very suspicious timing, almost like someone with great power has leaked/approved the story to be publicized.

Super injunctions are not possible under the Irish Legal system
It is impossible to get a super injunction in Ireland

Even if it was a normal injunction, his fans would be all 'what a super injunction'..best injunction I've ever seen..

Well I said libel laws, as was reported in the New York Times.

I mean think about it, of course The Examiner or whoever could report his name in tomorrows paper, but it would end up costing them a fortune if they did.

As far as I understand it, in Ireland someone on trial for sexual crimes can only be publically named on conviction and only in certain cases (for example where the victim waives rights of anonymity)

He's a clown if he thinks he deserves to be given equity ownership. As Dana White said, if he wants equity then he needs to pay for it like everyone else. Why should they just give him free ownership.
