Conor McGregor is making waves again, but this time it’s not in the octagon. The former UFC champ is taking on Ireland’s government with a fiery ultimatum. He’s giving them 12 days to act on big issues like human trafficking and immigration, or he’ll step in with his own plan, backed by the White House. As of March 20, 2025, McGregor’s words are lighting up social media and stirring debate across Ireland and beyond. Here’s everything you need to know about his bold move.
McGregor’s Anger at Ireland’s Leaders
McGregor isn’t holding back. He’s mad at Ireland’s government and says they’re dodging the real problems.
“Ad hominem style attacks against me coming in hot by Ireland’s government elite,” McGregor wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Classic, and glaringly obvious to everyone, deflection tactics. What is your response / plan of action to the issues I raised? Ireland wants to know. America wants to see!”
He’s calling out what he sees as cheap shots instead of answers.
This comes after his St. Patrick’s Day visit to the White House on March 17, 2025, where he met U.S. President Donald Trump. McGregor pushed hard on Ireland’s immigration struggles during that trip, asking America to help its “little bro.” Now he’s turning up the heat back home.
A 12-Day Deadline With Three Demands
McGregor laid out a clear timeline and list of demands for Ireland’s leaders.
“You have Twelve days to present a clear plan of action, on 1. Dismantling Ireland’s human trafficking racket. 2. Mass deportation of dangerous, criminal, and radicalized imports, as well as all who entered illegally, as well as all who are a strain on our welfare system who have made no effort to secure employment or assimilate with Irish culture and values. 3. Stringent border protection adjustments to stop this from ever happening again,” he said.
That’s his ultimatum, and he’s counting down to April 1, 2025.
He’s not asking for small fixes. McGregor wants big moves to stop trafficking, kick out people he calls threats, and lock down the borders. It’s a tough stance that’s got people talking.

White House Paper Threat
If Ireland’s government doesn’t step up, McGregor’s ready to take over.
“Chip, chop now fellas, don’t make me keep going,” he wrote. “Do what you’re told by the people of Ireland and we will have no issue here. Do not and it’s over for you. I will publicly send my orders for you to implement and mark my words it will be made to be done.”
He’s promising to send his own plan, signed on White House paper, if they miss the deadline.
“Be the hero here and save yourselves,” McGregor added. “And save Ireland, or my direct plan of action that Ireland and America wishes to see implemented will come in on White House paper attached with my signature.”
He’s hinting at U.S. support, tied to his recent Trump meeting, and it’s a bold flex.
McGregor says this isn’t just about politics. It’s personal.
“Weak men create hard times. Strong men create good times! As a strong man, with a young family that I wish to see have a peaceful and prosperous future in Ireland, I refuse to allow this happen to my country. Ireland and its people will never tolerate the destruction of our island by weaklings,” he declared.
He’s framing himself as a protector, standing up for his kids and his nation.

This isn’t new for McGregor. He’s been vocal about immigration before, like during the 2023 Dublin riots when his posts sparked a police probe. Now he’s doubling down, using his global fame to push harder.
McGregor’s timing isn’t random. His White House visit gave him a stage, and Trump’s praise adds weight. Trump called McGregor his favorite Irishman. Ireland’s government isn’t thrilled. Leaders like Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Tánaiste Simon Harris have said McGregor doesn’t speak for the country. But McGregor’s not backing off. He’s betting his 10 million X followers and U.S. ties will force action.
What’s Next for McGregor and Ireland
The clock’s ticking. April 1, 2025, is 12 days away, and all eyes are on Ireland’s leaders. Will they respond to McGregor’s demands? Or will he roll out his White House-backed plan? Either way, he’s not staying quiet. McGregor’s still got two UFC fights left on his contract, but this political push might be his next big arena.
This is McGregor unfiltered, loud, brash, and ready to shake things up. Whether Ireland’s government bends or breaks, he’s making sure the world hears his call.
