Mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor visited the White House for St
Patrick's Day, and is due to meet US President Donald Trump this afternoon.

He was introduced by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt who said he
is set to meet Mr Trump and other administration officials.

The fighter said he is in Washington "to raise the issues the people of Ireland
face."

He accused the Irish Government of "abandoning the voices of the people of
Ireland" saying it's "high time that America be made aware" of, what he
called, a "travesty" happening in Ireland.

Mr McGregor was highly critical of what he called Ireland's welcoming policies
towards illegal immigration and support for asylum seekers.

The White House Press Secretary said they "couldn't think of a better guest
to have with us on St Patrick's Day."
