The Finance Minister has said that his "heart fell" as an Irish man to see Conor McGregor invited to the White House for St Patrick's Day.

The MMA fighter, who last year was found civilly liable in a High Court damages case in Dublin taken by a woman who accused him of rape, met with US president Donald Trump in Washington DC on Monday and told reporters that Ireland was being "failed" by the Government.
