Former martial arts fighter Conor McGregor will very unlikely be able to run for the Irish presidency, two experts have told Euroverify, despite widespread media reports claiming the UFC champion will attempt to appear on the presidential ballot, which is due to take place by 11 November.
McGregor, who has emerged as a figurehead for Ireland's far right, made headlines last Friday when he announced on Instagram he would run for the presidency on an anti-immigration platform.
