A Dublin couple at the centre of Conor McGregor’s failed civil court rape appeal perjury proceedings refuse to accept a book of evidence, their case before the courts continues. RTE reports the Director of Public Prosecutions has completed the books of evidence for the couple’s perjury trial, where they are described as witnesses connected to the earlier civil case.
Irish Mirror and other outlets report the couple appear in Dublin District Court, where Judge Treasa Kelly hears the matter. The reporting highlights that the defendants decline to accept service of the documents, with Irish Examiner adding that their solicitor is not present because of an ongoing legal aid dispute.
Overall, outlets agree on the core procedural point: the book of evidence is prepared and presented, and the couple refuse to accept service as part of the next stage of the perjury process. The emphasis differs mainly on why the refusal occurs and which detail is foregrounded—completion of the prosecution paperwork versus the practical reason involving their legal representation.
