Conor McGregor Is Hoping For More Sun As He Gets Ready To Submit Renovation Plans For A Luxury Pad In Straffan

Conor McGregor is hoping the sun makes a comeback as he gets set to apply to Kildare County Council for an extensive renovation to his properties in Straffan, including an outdoor swimming pool.

McGregor is gearing up to transform his Kildare estate into a lavish retreat that rivals those of his celebrity cohorts.

Nestled in the serene village of Straffan, McGregor, 35, is set to submit plans to Kildare County Council for an extensive overhaul that will spotlight his love for luxurious outdoor living.

Reported to have acquired the property in 2019 from the son of former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds, McGregor aims to bid farewell to the existing two-storey, five-bedroom structure.

In its place, he envisions a sprawling two-storey over-basement home boasting six bedrooms, complete with modern amenities.

According to The Sunday Times, central to McGregor's vision is the addition of not one, but two swimming pools.

While an underground pool promises discreet indulgence, it's the outdoor pool at the rear of the house that captures the essence of McGregor's dream retreat. With Ireland's temperamental weather in mind, McGregor appears to be banking on sunnier days ahead.

McGregor's property journey, however, hasn't been without hurdles.

Recent setbacks with Dublin planners serve as reminders of the challenges he faces.

Last week, An Bord Pleanala refused planning permission for the construction of 113 apartments and a bar on the site of the old Marble Arch pub - where McGregor punched a customer in 2019.

Fingal county council also rejected his bid to build a hotel on top of the Waterside bar in Howth.
