Conor McGregor has urged his online supporters to lobby councillors whose backing could provide him a route to contesting the presidential election.
McGregor, who last year lost a civil rape case, claimed last week that he had already “secured” the support of councils, TDs and Senators.
The former mixed martial arts champion on Thursday posted a video on his social media channels filmed outside Government Buildings in Dublin 2.
“We have seen the homelessness of Irish children rise to levels unprecedented, proving this Government’s refusal to abide by and respect our proclamation where all children of Irish are to be cherished. Instead, our children abandoned,” he said.
“This incompetent failure of future generations has been accompanied with an intense influx of mass migration into an already severed system. Our tourism has sharply declined, while danger on our streets has risen.”
McGregor described himself as a “master of martial combat” and a “solution driven man”. He called on his followers to contact local councillors on his behalf.

Citizens of Ireland, the time for real change is now!
ADVERTISEMENTAs President, I will not sign any bill in law until it goes back to the people first!
If you want to see my name on the ballot for the Presidency, I urge you to contact your local county councillors today and ask them to nominate me.
Our councillors are the backbone of our communities. They work harder and deliver more for the people than those in the Oireachtas, who continue to fail this country time and again.
If you are a councillor who feels your voice is ignored, your hands tied, and your community overlooked, then I ask you to stand with me. Nominate me, and I will give you the platform and power to be truly heard.
If you want to vote for McGregor, it starts now. Call your local councillor today and demand change.
McGregor previously met up with President Trump at the White House.
