Conor McGregor Eyes 2025 Irish Presidential Bid

MMA fighter claims he would hold government accountable despite constitutional limits on presidential powers.

McGregor announced potential candidacy via social media, calling himself the 'only logical choice.'
He inaccurately asserted that the Irish president can summon and dissolve parliament unilaterally.
Experts clarified that these powers require the advice of the Taoiseach, making McGregor's claims 'constitutionally illiterate.'
The Irish presidency is largely ceremonial, with limited powers compared to the Taoiseach.
McGregor has yet to secure the necessary nominations to run in the 2025 election.
