Gardaí have launched a criminal investigation into allegations of perjury against a couple who were to be star witnesses in Conor McGregor’s failed appeal of Nikita Hand’s successful civil rape case.
Samantha O’Reilly and Steven Cummins, from Ballyfermot, were to give new evidence at the mixed martial arts fighter’s appeal hearing last month but their evidence was dramatically withdrawn on the morning they were due to testify.
