Overview

• In a video recorded outside Dublin’s Government Buildings, McGregor asked supporters to press county councillors to nominate him, with his post drawing nearly 10 million views on X.
• He is pursuing the local‑authority path and told councillors he would amplify their voices if they back his effort.
• Official council records do not show him seeking or receiving nominations, despite earlier claims that he had support secured.
• His platform emphasizes anti‑immigration and public‑safety messaging and includes a vow not to sign bills unless they are first sent back to voters.
• Media assessments label the bid a longshot given his lack of party backing and a High Court civil verdict finding him liable for sexually assaulting Nikita Hand, which he failed to overturn on appeal.
