This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

The Supreme Court refused Conor McGregor permission to appeal the civil rape verdict on 4 December 2025; the case arose from an incident at Dublin’s Beacon Hotel in December 2018.

The court said the application raised no matter of general public importance and did not warrant an appeal in the interests of justice. The Court of Appeal had already dismissed McGregor’s challenge to the jury’s finding.

The Supreme Court decision ended the appeal process in the case, leaving the High Court jury’s verdict in place.
