Conor McGregor made sure to condemn the riots in Dublin, but promised that he will help bring about change in Ireland following a mass stabbing that left three children injured.
The UFC legend, 35, has been an outspoken figure on social media since a stabbing spree outside a school on Thursday (November 23) resulted in the injury of five individuals, including three children. The horrific scenes sparked riots across the streets of Dublin as police vehicles, trams and buses were burned in protest.
McGregor – who was born and raised in Dublin – took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to slam the Garda chief Drew Harris as the MMA superstar said the attack was carried out by a 'non-national' – a claim which has not yet been confirmed.

"Innocent children ruthlessly stabbed by a mentally deranged non-national in Dublin, Ireland today. Our chief of police had this to say on the riots in the aftermath. Drew, not good enough," McGregor wrote.
"There is grave danger among us in Ireland that should never be here in the first place, and there has been zero action done to support the public in any way, shape or form with this frightening fact. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Make change or make way. Ireland for the victory. God bless those attacked today, we pray."
The Irishman returned to social media on Friday (November 24) as he condemned the riots in Dublin and said they "achieved nothing toward fixing the issues we face". He promised that he will lead the charge to make sure of Ireland's safety if the government do not act soon.
"I do not condone last nights riots. I do not condone any attacks on our first responders in their line of duty. I do not condone looting and the damaging of shops," McGregor wrote on X. "Last nights scenes achieved nothing toward fixing the issues we face. I do understand frustrations however, and I do understand a move must be made to ensure the change we need is ushered in. And fast! I am in the process of arranging.

"Believe me I am way more tactical and I have backing. There will be change in Ireland, mark my words. The change needed. In the last month, innocent children stabbed leaving school. Ashling Murphy murdered. Two Sligo men decapitated. This is NOT Ireland’s future! If they do not act soon with their plan of action to ensure Ireland’s safety, I will."
