Conor McGregor, the former UFC champion, has spoken out against the recent knife attack in Dublin that left five people injured, including three children. McGregor, who had already criticized the government's response to the attack, emphasized that he does not condone the riots that ensued in the Irish capital in the aftermath.

The incident, which took place on Thursday, November 23rd, left a five-year-old girl in critical condition and sparked violent protests in Dublin. McGregor expressed his outrage on social media, describing the attacker as a "mentally deranged non-national" and calling attention to the grave danger faced by Ireland.

Following the sentencing of Jozef Puska, a Slovak national who was jailed for life over the murder of 23-year-old Irish woman Ashling Murphy, McGregor tweeted, "Ireland, we are at war." He maintained that there has been a lack of action by the government to address the frightening reality of violence in the country.

However, McGregor clarified on Friday, November 24th, that he does not support the riots that took place, after being urged by the Britain First party leader to lead a 'Freedom March'. He emphasized that he does not condone attacks on first responders, looting, or the damaging of shops, stating that such actions do not contribute to resolving the issues at hand.

While recognizing the frustrations, McGregor stressed the need for immediate change in Ireland and revealed that he is working on arranging a plan to address the country's safety concerns. He reassured his followers that he has a strategic approach and backing to bring about the necessary change.

Drawing attention to recent violent incidents in Ireland, including the stabbing of innocent children, the murder of Ashling Murphy, and the decapitation of two Sligo men, McGregor emphasized that this is not the future he envisions for the country. He called on the government to take swift action to ensure the safety of its citizens. McGregor went as far as demanding "torture and death" as punishment for the man responsible for the stabbing.

The Dublin knife attack has reignited discussions about safety and social issues in Ireland. McGregor's vocal stance and commitment to effect change has garnered attention, with many awaiting further details of his plan and the government's response to the escalating violence.

It remains to be seen what actions will be taken to address the concerns raised by McGregor and other concerned citizens, as the country grapples with the pressing need for change.
