Ireland’s Justice Minister has commended a Dublin woman for her “bravery and determination” after winning a civil case against Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor.

Nikita Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a civil case at the High Court in the Irish capital on Friday.
