A work colleague who accompanied Nikita Ní Laimhín to the hotel where Ms Ní Laimhín says Conor McGregor raped her has said she was “surprised” to hear what had allegedly taken place.

Giving evidence at the High Court on Wednesday, Danielle Kealey — who worked in a different branch of the hair salon chain as Ms Ní Laimhín — told the court that “no one was in bad form” and she “didn’t notice anything had happened” when they were leaving the Beacon Hotel that evening.
