Conor McGregor apologises 'to absolutely nobody' for Ireland players singing alleged pro-IRA song after qualifying for World Cup

UFC superstar Conor McGregor has become the latest sportsperson to weigh in on the controversy surrounding some members of the Republic of Ireland women's team singing an alleged pro-IRA song.

On Tuesday, the Republic of Ireland women's team qualified for the World Cup for the first time in their history thanks to Amber Barrett's second-half strike. Later that evening, footage emerged which appeared to show some members of the team singing an alleged pro-IRA song during dressing room celebrations after the win.

The FAI, Vera Pauw and Chloe Mustaki have all since apologised for the incident. Conor Mcgregor however, believes that The Girls in Green should have apologised - 'To absolutely nobody.'
