Police in the North launched an investigation after footage was allegedly captured from outside a beachfront holiday home in Rostrevor, Co Down, that Mr McGregor and his fiancée Dee Devlin were staying in last November
The PSNI interviewed the young man on January 27 of this year over the incident in the Rostrevor area of Co Down in November 2024.
This week the PSNI told the Sunday World that they have now submitted a file on their investigation to the prosecution service in the north who will consider whether charges should be brought.
“A man in his 20s was interviewed by police on Monday, 27th January 2025 in relation to a report of voyeurism in the Rostrevor area in November 2024. A file was submitted to the Public Prosecution Service in July for their consideration,” a police spokesperson said.

Mr McGregor is understood to have told police that he became aware of the footage when his sister Aoife told him it was circulating online.
He also informed officers that the recording was taken from the front of the house, which looks out onto the beach and that he had not given anyone permission to film him or his family.
Mr McGregor (36) gave a statement to the PSNI on November 12, the morning after the alleged recording was made.
In February, the PSNI confirmed that a Co Down man volunteered himself for interview in relation to the footage. At the time, the man’s legal representative said that he “strenuously denies all these allegations and did so at interview.”
Solicitor Gavin Booth, of Phoenix Law, had earlier confirmed that he represents “the person who was accused of taking a video of Conor McGregor in an intimate act with his partner”.
“We contend that there is no evidence to link our client to these offences and fully expect our client’s name to be vindicated,” Mr Booth said.
Mr Booth added that he would “advise caution to anyone speculating that our client was involved”.
In April a PSNI spokesman said a 20-year-old man had “voluntarily attended Ardmore station (in Newry) on Monday, January 27, for interview in relation to a report of voyeurism in the Rostrevor area in November 2024”.
“Enquiries into the matter are ongoing and a file will be prepared and forwarded to the public prosecution service in due course,” the spokesman said.
Mr McGregor and his family spent a number of days at the property where the alleged incident occurred during a weekend break in the legal proceedings taken against Mr McGregor by hairdresser Nikita Hand.
Ms Hand sued the former MMA fighter for damages alleging he raped her at the Beacon Hotel on December 9, 2018.
Last November, a jury of eight women and four men found McGregor (37) civilly liable for the assault and awarded her almost €250,000 in damages.
McGregor had told the trial that he had consensual sex with Ms Hand and launched an appeal against the jury’s decision on a number of grounds.
On Thursday, the Court of Appeal dismissed McGregor’s challenge to the outcome of the civil rape case.
McGregor’s friend Mr Lawrence, who was also sued by Ms Hand but was found by a jury not to have raped her, also appealed against a High Court decision not to award him costs.
This was also rejected by the Court of Appeal, which cited evidence in the trial that McGregor was paying his friend’s costs.
The three judges said that if Mr Lawrence was awarded costs and repaid his friend, then Ms Hand would ultimately be making payments “to the man who raped her”, referring to McGregor. If he did not, he would be awarded a “bounty” for his troubles.
On Friday, McGregor hit back at the idea that he would be paying the legal fees of Mr Lawrence.
In bizarre and lengthy post on X, the 37-year-old said: “He was awarded his clearance in a civil trial but he was not awarded his costs! How incredibly wrong!
“To be accused of rape, win your innocence, and then be hit with the colossal bill of your defense while the lawyers and accuser who done the case against you, and lost, get their money. I don’t think I have ever heard the likes of this.
“You are out of your f**king mind if you think I am paying James Lawrence legal costs, folks. Who said I was paying his fees?
“I said I didn’t know if I was, when the accuser’s barrister asked me on the stand, as I didn’t (who is paying his own fees I should have asked him at that time).”
It later emerged that Ms Hand has initiated new proceedings against McGregor and two would-be witnesses whose evidence was dramatically withdrawn from the mixed martial arts fighter’s failed appeal.
The mother of one is suing the former UFC champion as well as Samantha O’Reilly and Steven Cummins for damages, claiming they had been involved in “malicious abuse” of the processes of the Court of Appeal.
