Dee Devlin responds to Conor McGregor hours after mystery woman and nude pics
Conor McGregor's long-term partner Dee Devlin responded to his latest social media post after a nude pic and mystery woman scandals that erupted yesterday. The former MMA fighter, who has been engaged to long-term partner Devlin since 2020, was apparently pictured kissing a mystery woman on a beach in Florida. The photographs show McGregor wearing swimwear while he embraces a bikini-clad woman. A few hours after those photos were circulated widely, American rapper Azealia Banks shared a post on social media where she alleged McGregor sent unsolicited nude photographs of himself. Banks shared the two images that McGregir allegedly sent to her, posting on her X account. "'How you gonna send a b**** a some crooked d*** pics then threaten her not to tell,' she wrote alongside the screenshots. '@TheNotoriousMMA n**** do you know who the f*** I am? This is HARAM'," said Banks. "Like how are you really going to sexually harrass me with the potato farmer d*** then threaten me not to tell???? Honey…… ain't u trying to be the president of Ireland what is it giving fam? Use some f***ing sunscreen damn." Banks also appeared to share a screenshot of a message she received from McGregor where he appears to be telling her not to share the images. "Don't be a rat cos all rats get caught", reads the message. Banks also alleged that her and McGregor have been exchanging nude pics for a number of years. Since then, McGregor has been active on social media and shared a picture of himself onboard a boat, saying: "EVERYDAY PRAY" The post was liked by Devlin, and she also commented underneath with a couple of emojis. (Image: thenotoriousmma/Instagram) McGregor turned 37 on Monday, and his life as an MMA fighter appears to be finished. The Dubliner has not fought since July 2021 and his June 2024 bout against Michael Chandler has not been rescheduled. Last November, a High Court civil jury found McGregor civilly liable for assaulting Nikita Hand. He faced allegations of "brutally raping and battering" Ms Hand at a hotel in south Dublin back in November 2018. McGregor maintained that their sexual interactions at the Beacon Hotel were consensual. The jury sided with her, with €248,603.60 in damages awarded. McGregor has mounted an appeal against the ruling that got underway earlier this month.

Hunt for new home for huge woollen Ireland map that took 4yrs to knit – how many iconic Irish landmarks can you spot?
A GIGANTIC wool map of Ireland, which took four years of knitting and crocheting to complete, is in search of a new home to go on public display.

While 18 people started off the project, three of the women died over the years and two others went in to nursing homes. The youngest member of the group is aged 65 while the eldest is soon turning 90. Group member Mary Blake said that after creating a number of other woollen projects, a member of the community centre suggested knitting a map of Ireland. READ MORE IRISH NEWS The 12ft by 11ft woollen map project quickly took off and now features prominent landmarks and sites across the island, including Glendalough, Croagh Patrick, Phoenix Park, Giant's Causeway and Fungie the Dolphin. Ms Blake said: 'We all decided which bits would represent areas of significance and we put it all together like a jigsaw. 'We covered the whole of Ireland in green squares, all different shades of green, before we started doing any of the knitting. 'Then we started with Leinster, and somebody said, I'll do Mount Leinster, and someone else started on Hook Head (lighthouse), and different people did different parts. We worked together on everything, MOST READ ON THE IRISH SUN 'Most of it took place in Carnew Community Care, which is a centre for older people. We meet every Wednesday morning and whatever we don't get finished, we bring home the bits to get done. I'm an American tourist and explored two major Irish seaside towns – here's what I got up to 'We started in 2019 and then Covid came and put a stop to that. So we couldn't get wool and we couldn't meet either. We got back together at the end of 2022 but we'd lost a few people in the meantime, during Covid. 'We lost one of our members Margaret so decided to add bits in to represent her life close to the Shannon. 'We couldn't do something to represent every county but we did places like Glendalough, the Japanese Gardens in 'We also have Harland and Wolff, the Titanic ship with parts of it sinking, Theresa's cottage in Donegal, the Ulster Museum, we have loads of animals in it, Giants Causeway, which we made out of Smarties boxes. 'We have lots of fishermen, the Aran Island, windmills, Croagh Patrick, Galway Races and best dressed lady, the Shannon, Sherkin Island, Blarney Castle, and Fungie. PUBLIC DISPLAY PLEA 'Some people sewed, some people crocheted, and some people sewed things together. 'One of our ladies is going be 90 next year and I'd say the youngest person we have is over 65.' She added: 'It gives people a purpose. We also knit blankets for local hospitals. 'We were all really excited to take part in this project and seeing it finished was amazing.' Ms Blake said those involved would like to see it go on public display. She added: 'We don't really mind, whoever wants it is welcome to have it, but we would love to see it in a public place, somewhere that it can be viewed and give everybody an opportunity to see it. We're open to whoever wants to take it. 'I'm so excited to see it finished and would like others to see it too. It would look great in one of the airports.' One of the members, Ann Edwards, said it was a fun experience. She said: 'I have lots of favourites but I think Hook Head and the Viking ship are particularly nice and colourful and great to work on. 'They were difficult to do. I worked on the Vikings. It was interesting and enjoyable. 'We dug into the memory bank and came up with ideas and what things would have looked like.' 6 Fungi the Dolphin from Dingle got a spot on the map Credit: Niall Carson/PA Wire 6 Cork's Blarney Castle takes a spot on the knitted map Credit: Niall Carson/PA Wire 6 A scene from the Galway Races on the stunning display Credit: Niall Carson/PA Wire
