“Go big or go home” is one of Conor McGregor’s favourite maxims. But the cage fighter’s plans for an enormous new home in Straffan , Co Kildare, seem to be a little too brash for the local council. McGregor applied to Kildare County Council for planning permission in May to demolish a 600sq m property that he had bought from Albert Reynolds’s son, Albert jnr, in 2019 and replace it with a sprawling mansion running to 3,000sq m.
It isn’t quite a knockout blow, though. McGregor has been asked to submit a “comprehensive design statement” justifying the size of his proposed new home, which is to include six bedrooms, a sunken basement with car parking, a bar, gym and games area, and two swimming pools, one indoor and one outdoor for those rare occasions when the sun shines.
Napier has just spent some of his lolly on a seafront home in Dalkey, south Co Dublin. The tech entrepreneur, whose outfit provides software to car companies, recently paid €7.5 million for a house on Coliemore Road with private access to the shoreline.

“Ireland’s general practice is to recognise genocide only where this has been established by a judgment of an international court or where there is international consensus on the matter,” Ó Fearghaíl responded. “At present there is no international consensus on whether the events of 1915 amount to genocide.”White is the new blue at the Garda College in Templemore.
