Based in Kerry, work in Cork.

I just saw a post on FB where McGregor essentially said he's running for president. Had he officially declared before that?

Hopefully not. It would be an embarrassment.

To my knowledge, and I could be wrong, he's never been convicted of sexual assault.

It’s Just plain weird that there isn’t an international consensus that losing a criminal or civil case in the context of a sexual offence should lead to an automatic ban on running for pm/presidential offices . It’s actually very difficult to teach in homes or schools or work places or anywhere that consent is important when people who take without consent are getting votes or actually getting elected

There are some crazy things going on.

Populism is on the rise, create fear abd see what happens, the far left has created such a mess now we have the far right on the rise. It's a big bunch of bullshit but it is what it is, extremists to left to me , extremists to right of me, stuck in the middle.

Politics is THE most currupt organisation. A bunch of fat cats manipulating the people while pretending to be looking out for us. Dividing us while pretending to be uniting us. No doubt in my mind that if he decides to run for president, he will most likely win.

The incompetents in power will let us know that they are not happy with it. Probably blame us, while at the same time receiving a nice little bonus from mcg himself.

the jury returned their verdict and found that McGregor had r*ped Hand. Accordingly, McGregor was ordered to pay Hand nearly €250,000 in damages.

The threshold that must be reached in criminal trials for deciding against a defendant is beyond reasonable doubt while in civil trials such as the above it is on the balance of probabilities.

He does however have over 20 convictions mostly for driving offences , but also for assault and antisocial behavior such as wrecking buses . There is the odd charge which didn’t result in a conviction after the witnesses were intimidated .

So yes , everyone is totally overreacting . He doesn’t have a criminal conviction for r*pe and therefore is well qualified to stand and be elected as president of Ireland and represent this country

There’s 2 routes to getting on the ballot paper

1. Signatures of 20 oireachtas members - he might get a handful, highly unlikely to find 20 to back him.

2. Backing of 4 local authorities - vast majority of local authorities are FF/FG majorities and the most of the rest are SF/Labour/SD majorities. Highly unlikely he’d find 4 to back him.

I think it’s fairly safe to say he won’t get on the ballot paper but we are facing 6 months of nonsense from him and interference from foreign backers of his.

The role of President in our constitution is mostly ceremonial and all power remains with the properly elected government. Unlike his orange pal in MAGAland who can sign executive orders the Irish President only gets to sign legislation that is voted into law by a government majority and approved by the courts if legally challenged.

The Irish President cannot do or say anything as representing the views of the Irish people without prior government approval.

According to the Irish Constitution, Article 13.9, these powers and functions "shall be exercisable and performable by him only on the advice of the Government".

In simple terms, the President must, for the most part, do what he or she is told. Indeed, Article 12.9 provides that the President may not even leave the State without the Government’s permission.

Electing someone as president is the ultimate way of shutting them up. And if they do step out of line the Presidential Commission has the power to remove them.

Even if a total idiot were to be elected as president of Ireland, while we may be embarrassed, we would remain totally safe under our strong constitution, unlike the poor unfortunate peoples of Russia and the USA.

This exactly.

I remember Sarah McInerney on Newstalk with a bunch of talking heads. I like her, but the show was terrible. All of them just agreeing with each other on everything.

They spent months laughing at Trump and then years giving out about him, after he got elected!

He can put a lot of money into this if he really wants to. Don't be too surprised if he gets the Oireachtas or council numbers he needs.

To get any votes, he has to get on the ballot and that’s not going to happen. There’s no way 20 Oireachtas members or 4 councils are going to back him. Not a hope in hell will enough elected officials but their names behind him given quite clear public sentiment over the last week.

Unfortunately, we’ll still be bombarded with his nonsense until the ballot is closed.

Given his considerable wealth is it in the realms of possibility he may promise financial support to the election campaigns of various independents in return for their backing ?

I’m sure that’s the route he’ll go down but whether 20 elected representatives are willing to publicly put their name behind him, I really don’t think so.

👆This is how to be nominated and he won’t find twenty members coz they won’t want to be associated with him and the local councils will back their own party candidate, so he won’t get on the ballot. So think we are safe.

It will be interesting to see what his management team do.

I think they will go after the councils. There are 31 Local Authorities, he only needs 4. As far as I'm aware, they can nominate more than one candidate each.

Expect a whole load of the typical noise around "free speech" "what are they scared of", and other attempts to apply pressure.

Also, does anybody know how many councillors need to vote in each authority? Is there a quota on it?...If not, then local councillors can expect lots of heat to vote for him or abstain.

If he is serious about this, then efforts will be made to have a real go at it...brace yourselves.

No, he was found liable for damages. If he was found guilty it would have to be in a criminal trial and he would be a registered sex offender facing jail time, not paying out money. His other offences are driving related, let's not make him out to be Al Capone. He's done enough to ruin his reputation with the Irish people so you don't need to exaggerate it or flat out lie.

"In all fairness how one was convicted then other not ad she wl was seeing in the lobby with mcg then went back to the room jury more women than men it's just a throught .????

Ask the Jury

They sat through all the evidence and convicted him

The actual evidence

Guilty

I'm not defending him but this is wrong. He was not found guilty, he was found liable. There is no guilty verdict in a civil court.

It was reviewed twice by the DPP, once by the head of the DPP and they said there was no grounds for a criminal trial, hence the civil trial.

Not saying he's innocent, I wasn't there but there's a big difference between civil and criminal court.

He was found guilty of sexual assault in his last trial

And 19 previous times for various other offences

No, he was found liable for damages. If he was found guilty it would have to be in a criminal trial and he would be a registered sex offender facing jail time, not paying out money. His other offences are driving related, let's not make him out to be Al Capone. He's done enough to ruin his reputation with the Irish people so you don't need to exaggerate it or flat out lie. "

It's mad to see the McGregor fan boys desperately trying to defend a racist sex pest.

'It was only civil!' And yet a jury of his peers decided that he did in fact assault that woman.

It's the kind of behavior you'd exhibit if you never made it out of adolescence.

I imagine Footballers in England are having lots of consensual sex, every week! Now, considering there are thousands of them, that's a lot of sex.

So your scenario "doesn't happen way too often'. It happens when one of them sexually assaults a woman!

I don't really have an opinion on the civil case and would question what was going on and if it would have happened if McGregor was a plumber.

As for the footballers , Chef Evans is a tale that should put the fear into everyone, I think the last high profile was Mendy ,he got pretty screwed but he was throwing it around everywhere.

No one comes out clean in this.

I read all the comments and no one is changing anyone's mind, which is fine. Accept that there are two sides to get story.

I don't believe their is one fan boy of McGregor on here in the comments, but they are putting more blame on to the lady than some others.

The whole thing is shady as hell, dark, dirty and with no class, and i don't think any verdict will stop these types of people thinking they can do what they want.

The lady in question didn't have a whole lot of respect for herself, and the two guys definitely didn't have any respect for her either.

Just so I'm clear, I don't condone any of this .

I laughed at the "she drank the soup", but I don't know what it means...

Exactly!

Yes. I can guess what councils he would target too. The council route would probably be easier than the oireachteas. If people find out their local councillors have a vote on this, I hope there's serious backlash.

I'm not saying it applies here, I don't know if he's guilty or not but that has happened before. Look up Eleanor Williams and Crystal Mangum. They're outliers but we can't act like it doesn't or hasn't happened before.

The biggest issue which nobody is discussing is the conviction rate in these cases which I think is as low as 1% so genuine victims can't get justice as it is so when you get the few outliers like the girls I mentoined above, they get the media headlines and it feeds the narrative of "she's only looking for money" in a society that already favours the man as backed up by such low conviction rates and how little impact these accusations have on celebrities especially.

I think the DPP are useless at their jobs. I know of at least 5

grape cases in the area and 4 that never got to court because they calmed that there wasn't enough evidence in the cases.

The 1 case that made it to court was thrown out because the local garda sergeant that coached the local gaa team was his character witness and with all the evidence against him. The case was thrown out.

Another 1 of them cases after a few hours of interrogation the lad accused of gr@pe. Admitted what happened but said it was consensual. The DPP decided not too go ahead with that case even with all the evidence they had.

Hell hath no fury ,who knows what one person is motivated by? Grouping all people of one sex together is impossible and what one lady night value another will despise.

No one wins on these situations, but Jesus , don't actively seek them. Who in their right mind goes off with an arse hole like McGregor to a hotel room ? It certainly gives him no right to presume anything except company, but who is that naive? These assholes think the world is theirs.

I suppose lots of people doubt the "facts", of what happened. I for one would actually question the reasoning behind the whole situation.

Shoot me , block me , it's who I am .

"There surely be some regulation for anyone wishing to put their forward for presidency that if they had a particular conviction his being sexual assault he wouldn’t be allowed to put his name forward ?

To my knowledge, and I could be wrong, he's never been convicted of sexual assault.

Fair play, you are the only person with the balls to say it. He was not convicted, some seriously dumb people in those thread. "

I believe you are correct on that. I would not be a fan of his or his persona for a long time. But he would probably be a better option than Bertie who has previously floated the idea of running for president. The country is going down the toilet and anyone who can not see that is blind or choosing to ignore it. But the president can not make any meaningful changes anyway.
