Conor McGregor makes bizarre 'White House paper' demand to Irish government after Donald Trump invitation

The former UFC star called out Ireland's 'government elite' and their 'deflection tactics' in a bizarre social media post

Conor McGregor has laid out a list of demands for the Irish government while warning politicians 'it's over for you' if they don't comply.

The former UFC star, 36, has even given the powers that be a 12-day deadline to 'present a clear plan of action' as he pushes for immigration reform in his nation.

And if the government don't bend to his will, McGregor appeared to threaten to use his new-found friendship with Donald Trump to force their hand.

The Irishman was in the White House earlier this week for a St Patrick's Day (17 March) sit down with the US President.

It came a week after taoiseach (Prime Minister) Micheál Martin made the trip to Washington to talk with Trump - who revealed that he has a soft spot for McGregor during the meeting.

"I do happen to like your fighter," he told Martin in reference to the sportsman. "He’s got the best tattoos I’ve ever seen. Conor’s great."

These compliments seemingly went straight to McGregor's head, as he decided to pop on his political hat and dish out some fighting talk for Martin's government during his White House visit.

He told Trump that politicians in Ireland have 'abandoned the voices of the people', complaining that there was 'zero action with zero accountability' and claiming there is an 'illegal immigration racket running ravage'.

"We consider America our big sibling,” McGregor said. "We wish to be taken care of by the big bro. You know, the United States should look after its little bro."

Politicians in the Emerald Isle quickly made it clear that the MMA star isn't a mouthpiece for the country, with Martin taking to X to state that McGregor’s 'remarks are wrong'.

He went on to say that they 'do not reflect the spirit of St Patrick’s Day, or the views of the people of Ireland', while MP Colum Eastwood added: "He doesn’t represent the Irish people. In fact, we’re all pretty embarrassed by him."

McGregor, who has declared he may run for President in Ireland later this year, then shared a scathing social media statement in response last night (19 March) calling out the 'government elite' and their 'deflection tactics'.

Sharing a snap of him and Trump, he wrote on Instagram: "Ad hominem style attacks against me coming in hot by Ireland's government elite. Classic, and glaringly obvious to everyone, deflection tactics.

"What is your response / plan of action to the issues I raised? Ireland wants to know. America wants to see!

"Chip,chop now fellas, don’t make me keep going," McGregor wrote. "Do what you’re told by the people of Ireland and we will have no issue here. Do not and it’s over for you."

McGregor then went on to say that he doesn't mind going over Martin's head to get his demands met.

"I will publicly send my orders for you to implement and mark my words it will be made to be done," his statement continued.

"You have Twelve Days to present a clear plan of action, on 1. Dismantling Irelands human trafficking racket.

"2. Mass deportation of dangerous, criminal, and radicalised imports, as well as all who entered illegally, as well as all who are a strain on our welfare system who have made no effort to secure employment or assimilate with Irish culture and values.

"3. Stringent border protection adjustments to stop this from ever happening again.

"Be the hero here and save yourselves, and save Ireland, or my direct plan of action that Ireland and America wishes to see implemented will come in on White House paper attached with my signature."

It seems that he believes his words might have more clout thanks to his alliance with Trump, who takes a notoriously tough stance on immigration.

If these threats don't trigger the response he wants, it appears as though he plans to call the President in for back up and get the US to intervene. Bonkers, we know.

Appearing to announce his run for Ireland's President in September last year, McGregor said: "I am the only logical choice. 2025 is coming."

He has since promised that if he was in power, he would 'have all the answers the people of Ireland seek from these thieves of the working man, these disrupters of the family unit, these destructors of small businesses'.

This comes after the woman who accused McGregor of raping her won her civil case against him in November 2024, meaning he will be forced to pay her £200,000 in damages.
