“Never forget your roots” – Fans react to Conor McGregor’s grateful post thanking his mother for sending him to an all-Irish School

Conor McGregor expressed gratitude to his mother, Margaret McGregor, for enrolling him in an all-Irish school during his childhood.

The former two-division UFC champion, born in Dublin, Ireland, was raised in Crumlin. He attended Irish-language schools for both primary and secondary education, starting with Gaelscoil Scoil Mológa in Harold’s Cross and later continuing at Gaelcholáiste Coláiste de hÍde in Tallaght. It was during his secondary education that he developed a fervor for sports.

‘The Notorious’ has consistently demonstrated his affection for his native land, and his strong sense of patriotism has become more evident to the public, particularly in recent times, as he’s voiced his displeasure towards the Irish government and its policies.

McGregor recently responded to a news article on X discussing the notion of whether teaching Irish to the younger generation could be considered regressive. In his post, he conveyed appreciation to his mother for enrolling him in an Irish school:

“Gabhaim buíochas le mo mháthair gach lá as mé a chur chuig Scoil LánGhaeilge. I thank my mother every single day for sending me to an all Irish School. Éire Abú! 🇮🇪 Ireland to victory! 🇮🇪”
