“Ireland must fully implement the EU migration pact by June 12, 2026. So between now and 12 June 2026, more legislation will be adopted by both houses in Oireachtas and then signed by the President … Who else will stand up to the government and oppose this bill? … I will!” McGregor wrote in his post.
“It’s the people of Ireland’s election! Always! It’s a true democracy! .. This is the future of Ireland with me as president. All citizens of Ireland to have a voice and a choice about their future! God bless our people. Vote McGregor and get your voice heard!”

“Our government has long left the votes of Ireland’s population, and it is high time that America is made aware of what is going on in Ireland. What is going on in Ireland is a Travesty. Our government is a government with zero action and zero accountability,” he said this week.
In September, he teased a potential presidential driving in Ireland and called himself the “only logical election.”
