Woman's civil damages claim against Conor McGregor set for trial next month

Summary

A young woman has filed a civil damages claim against mixed‑martial‑arts star Conor McGregor for alleged assault, and the case has been scheduled for trial in the High Court next month. The action, which will be heard before a jury and presided over by a judge, was set for the week beginning 23 April after the judge, Mr Justice Alexander Owens, heard from Siún Leonowicz BL, the woman's counsel, who confirmed the case was ready to proceed. McGregor, originally from Crumlin, denies all wrongdoing. The claim is one of two initiated against the celebrity sportsman over incidents alleged to have occurred in 2018. The woman's action was filed in 2021, but no details of the claim have been disclosed in open court. A second personal‑injuries action, brought by the woman's mother, is not scheduled for jury trial.
