'It's high time that America is made aware of what's going on in Ireland. What’s going on in Ireland is a travesty,' Conor McGregor said at the White House.
Conor McGregor visited the White House on St. Patrick's Day to discuss issues facing the Irish people with President Trump. McGregor expressed concern that Ireland is "at the cusp of potentially losing its Irishness" due to changes in rural towns and believes the Irish government has abandoned its people. He wants to raise awareness of these issues, especially among Irish Americans, to preserve Ireland's cultural identity.
