Dublin

Nikita Hand has been awarded costs in her civil action against Conor McGregor.

A woman who claims she was raped by Conor McGregor in a Dublin hotel has been accused of telling a “web of lies” in the hours following the alleged incident.

Thomas Kavanagh, 57, had hoped by leading the NCA to a buried stash of 11 “fearsome” weapons, he could influence sentencing in a drug smuggling case.
