Who is the mystery woman Conor McGregor was seen kissing on Florida beach?
McGregor was caught on camera getting up close and personal with a bikini-clad lady on a Fort Lauderdale beach over the weekend. In the images seen by the Irish Mirror, McGregor put his hand on her thigh, had his arm slung over her shoulder, and seemingly planted a kiss on her lips.
Initial reports say McGregor attracted plenty of interest while on the packed beach, but little has surfaced about the mystery woman since the incident.
The former MMA fighter continued to make headlines on Monday when he got caught up in a nude pic scandal following posts from Azealia Banks
The American rapper leaked unsolicited pictures of Conor McGregor and accused accused the MMA fighter of threatening her.
The former UFC champion sent her nudes, which she proceeded to post on social media publicly. She further accused him of threatening her not to tell anybody.
Leaking McGregor's pics, she wrote on X: 'How you gonna send a b**ch a some crooked d**k pics then threaten her not to tell. @TheNotoriousMMA n**ga do you know who the f**k I am?'
She further mocked the MMA fighter and wrote: 'Honey…… ain't u trying to be the president of Ireland what is it giving fam?" She further shared another screenshot where she claimed that McGregor woke up early and deleted his pictures from her chat.
However, she revealed the threat part in the chat, in which McGregor said: 'Don't be a rat cos all rats get caught.'
In another tweet, she once again mocked the Dubliner's announcement to run for Irish presidency, sharing, 'Conor McGregor 4 President'.
McGregor has spent the bulk of his summer abroad with his family holidaying while also engaging in a number of business ventures. He has not fought in the UFC since July 2021 and it looks increasingly unlikely he will ever fight again.

Colin Farrell's Penguin is perfect TV for the age of antiheroes like Trump
It may be the defining TV show of our times. A dark fairytale with a performance for the ages from our own Colin Farrell, that this week earned him an Emmy nomination to add to an earlier Golden Globe win. HBO hit 'The Penguin' reeks of the decay, collapse and corruption of the Roaring 2020s. After a global pandemic it was supposed to be a decade of renewal and rebirth. But at its midpoint, it's becoming clear that was a bad joke. The roars instead have become screams of anxiety across the world. Cries for help as societies have moved on from me too to me first. On screen that has taken shape as the century of the antihero. From Tony Soprano to Logan Roy, Walter White to the Wicked Witch of the West. And Oswald Cobb. Farrell has earned critical acclaim for his performance as Oswald Cobb in The Penguin (Image: © 2024 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. THE PENGUIN and all related characters and elements are copyrights and trademarks of DC. All Rights Reserved.) In a world that is increasingly shaped in the image of kleptocrats like Putin and narcissists like Trump, citizens are giving up on holding out for an old-fashioned hero. It is the world of Donald Trump the ultimate American Antihero. As president, Trump has taken a flamethrower to America's democratic and public institutions as well as the international order. He put a target on anyone who didn't pledge him loyalty, replaced justice with revenge, and truth with fantasy. His favourite Irishman is our own offering to this new cult of the antihero. Conor McGregor is a narcissistic bully who has lost a civil action in which he was accused of a savage rape. But millions still slavishly worship him because he rose from the streets and used violence to claim his share of the good life. He is an icon of the new road warrior dystopia that echoes in the darker alleys of social media. Where an army of the dispossessed and disaffected plot to 'take back their freedom'. Conor McGregor That always seems to mean taking it from others who are weaker. And by any means necessary. The Penguin chimes with these times, where hopelessness and history seem to rhyme more with each passing crisis. Where decline seems to have set into a civilisation that can't stop the rot eating away at respect for things like truth, decency and the institutions of law and democracy The streets of this dark comic fantasy carry a whisper of foreboding: the world looks to be all out of heroes. The Penguin recognises that by writing the caped crusader out of the picture entirely. There is no Batman in this hellish version of Gotham. On the streets only chaos and bad men reign. Only after eight relentlessly brilliant but dark chapters, is there a faint hopeful flicker of the Bat Signal dancing across the skyline in the final scene. But it's an illusion. There is no caped saviour coming to the rescue. The citizens of the world's Gothams are on their own. Which means they themselves will have to become the heroes they've been holding out for.

New play tells tale of transatlantic cable that put Kerry at centre of the world
Describing himself as a London-Ballinskelligs man, actor Mike Kelly has written a play about a seismic event on Valentia Island, off the west coast of Kerry, which took place in 1866. Known as the 'eighth wonder of the world,' the laying of the transatlantic cable from the island to Heart's Content in Newfoundland spanning 3,000km, revolutionised global communications by reducing the transmission time of messages across continents from weeks to mere minutes. Aidan Dooley, who wrote and performed the award-winning Tom Crean: Antarctic Explorer, has come on board to direct the play in a new telling, co-produced by Siamsa Tíre. Kelly, who grew up in London and spent idyllic childhood holidays in Ballinskelligs where both his parents were from, began to think about the timing of the cable installation. It was relatively close to the famine. Emigration was rife. 'What really got my creative juices going was how the historical event might have felt for a local family at the time,' says Kelly. His play centres around a fictional family, the O'Sullivans. They have waved 'goodbye' to their daughter, Kitty and are waiting desperately to hear from her in her new base in New York. A precious letter could take weeks or months to arrive. When the play opens, Kitty has emigrated six months previously. 'On the O'Sullivans' doorstep, a world-changing thing is about to happen. Their son, Micheál works at the cable station. So the parents are hoping that Micheál's presence at the station may help them to get some sort of word to New York. Into the mix is an English character, Bartholomew, also working at the cable station. He throws up some plot twists.' Kelly has also written about the relationships between the Irish and the wealthy people from America and England who arrived on Valentia Island for the launch of the cable. 'These people are going around dressed up in the best of everything. They are in stark contrast with the lives the islanders were living. On the one hand, there is huge hope and excitement at something almost incomprehensible. On the other hand, there is some resentment as well which I explore in the play.' The Valentia Island cable station. Picture: Irish Examiner Archive The resentment emerges when it transpires that using the cable to send a telegram across the ocean would have been prohibitively expensive for the islanders. 'A fairly big part of the plot is whether the people can use the cable or not.' Kelly says he has taken artistic licence regarding how the famine affected the Valentia Islanders. 'Relatively speaking, the islanders would have fared better than others on dry land, but in the context of my story, the Famine is a huge backdrop with a lot of emigration.' Also, Kelly's tragic experience of loss informs his play. 'Unbelievably, I lost my brother [in a road accident in 2014] and my sister [to cancer in 2016] in the space of a year and a half. We were very close as siblings so it was very traumatic. The pain and devastation it had on my mother feeds into the play. There are specific references in the play that are taken from what mum and I went through at the time. I suppose there's a degree of healing there as well. But some of the raw pain is in the play.' Kelly's mother is the inspiration behind Mairead O'Sullivan, the central mother character in the play. 'The character has my mother's feistiness and humour. My mother is in a hospital bed now as she has been immobile since having a stroke. But she has the nursing staff in Valentia Care Home doubled over with laughter most days. She's an extraordinary woman.' Kelly, who lives in the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire regularly visits his mother and is always delighted to inhale the Kerry air. He hopes to end his days somewhere in the Kingdom. Since graduating from LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts) in 1997, Kelly has been working as a professional actor. He had a cameo part in the Ridley Scott movie, The Martian, starring Matt Damon. Kelly was based in Budapest for a long time. He was involved in a three-man theatre company there. 'We did a whole range of plays. A huge amount of US and UK film productions and theatre happen there because of the studios there and all sorts of locations.' The timing of The Cable fits in with the Valentia Island cable celebrations. There will be an exhibition in the lobby of Siamsa Tíre in Tralee featuring photographs and an actual part of the cable itself, as well as live music. The Cable will be performed at Siamsa Tíre, Tralee, from July 17-20.

Families of children medically evacuated from Gaza can also travel to Ireland
The families of children being medevaced from Gaza to Ireland will be able to travel with them, the Government has agreed. Last week it was reported that the transport of at least 18 children previously authorised to come to Ireland had been delayed by reported visa issues, though the Government insisted there is no delay. There was, however, a question around who could travel with the children. The State has agreed to help up to 30 children to leave Gaza. So far, 12 children have been brought to the Republic, in two separate missions. At Cabinet on Tuesday, Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill brought a memo which agreed that the remaining paediatric patients to be identified for medical evacuation under the initiative can be accompanied by one or both of the patient's parents (or the patient's carer), and the patient's parents' minor or adult children dependents. The memo also notes that adult family members accompanying paediatric patients evacuated to Ireland under the initiative will be granted Irish residence permission following requests by the health minister to the Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan. The Government also agreed that "alternative, approved evacuation options" through third states be explored and agreed. Last week in the Dáil, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the "indiscriminate killing of children" in Gaza was one of the "appalling aspects of Israel's war on Gaza". He said two of the four planned flights have taken place, with 45 people, including children and their families, having come to Ireland thus far. There "is no delay" and no "bureaucratic wrangling" preventing the transfer of the children. He said the Cabinet memo was "not material" to the next flight and was not needed and there had been no applications for visas under the scheme. Meanwhile, arts minister Patrick O'Donovan also updated Cabinet on RTÉ's progress in implementing the recommendations of two committees established following revelations about presenter payments at the broadcaster. Of 90 recommendations in the governance and culture report, 78 are for RTÉ, 15 for the department, with three for both. By the end of the first quarter of this year, 40 of RTÉ's 78 recommendations are achieved, two were on track, and 36 delayed. All 26 of the recommendations in the HR and fees report are aimed at RTÉ and initial progress reports were limited, prompting a meeting with RTÉ to discuss more detailed reporting. The minister's update said that two recommendations are achieved, 12 are on track, and 12 are delayed. Of the 15 department recommendations from the governance and culture review, seven are addressed through the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill, and one on funding was dealt with last July.
