Conor McGregor breaks social media silence after Dublin court appearance

Conor McGregor broke his social media silence after appearing in a Dublin court on Thursday.

The Dubliner arrived at Blanchardstown courthouse on Thursday morning just before 11am.

He is accused of two counts of dangerous driving in Dublin on March 22.

The 33-year-old was hit with a further four charges this morning in precincts of the courthouse.

McGregor is also accused of driving without a licence and insurance as well as failing to produce a licence and insurance.

Garda Denis Lordan told the court that McGregor made no reply to the four further charges before handing him a true copy of each charge sheet.

McGregor sat quietly in the dock for the short hearing this morning.

His lawyer Michael Staines told the court that his licence and insurance have been shown to the gardai.

McGregor was remanded on bail and is to appear before the same court in June.

Asked for comment as he left the courthouse, McGregor said: "Just straight back into training my man, yeah."

And McGregor followed up his comment by confirming on social media he'd be back training.

He said: "Straight back into training."

And McGregor followed it up by saying: "3 weights. 3 KO’s. Moving up. The one and only one to ever do it."

McGregor has been out of action since last summer when he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier but fans will be hoping to see him back in action later this year.
