The National Wax Museum Plus in Dublin has made headlines by removing the wax figure of MMA fighter Conor McGregor from public display, a decision fueled by the recent civil verdict in which he was found liable for assaulting Nikita Hand. The museum, committed to family-friendly values, aims to ensure that all exhibits align with visitor expectations. This decision comes after a jury ordered McGregor to pay nearly €250,000 in damages to Ms. Hand for the incident that took place in December 2018.

Conor McGregor Waxwork Removed Amid Assault Verdict
The National Wax Museum Plus in Dublin takes a stand by removing a wax figure of Conor McGregor following a civil court verdict ruling him guilty of assaulting a woman.
The waxwork of McGregor, unveiled by his father in 2017, was a favorite among tourists. However, amidst the serious allegations and verdict, the museum has stated it will continue to monitor the situation regarding McGregor's association with the establishment.
In the aftermath of the verdict, several firms, including Proximo Spirits, have announced they will no longer use McGregor's name and image in marketing, including the Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand he co-founded. Multiple retailers and bars have followed suit, pulling his products to align with their customers' values, including Tesco and Wetherspoon.
Following the verdict, hundreds gathered in Dublin to rally in support of Ms. Hand, expressing dissatisfaction with the decision of the Director of Public Prosecutions not to pursue criminal charges against McGregor, citing insufficient evidence. This has sparked discussions about legal accountability and the treatment of survivors within the judicial system, especially regarding high-profile figures.
As support for Ms. Hand grows, her call for justice reflects a broader societal need for accountability and respect for victims of assault, challenging the limitations of both civil and criminal procedures in such cases.
