The matter was previously the subject of an extensive investigation by An Garda Siochana.
However, the Office of the DPP decided no charges should be brought.
In a statement issued after the young woman filed her case last January, McGregor s spokesperson, Karen J Kessler, said McGregor would be fully contesting the woman s claims. After an exhaustive investigation conducted by the gardai which, in addition to interviews of the plaintiff, included interviewing numerous sources, obtaining witnesses statements, examining closed circuit footage and the cooperation of Conor McGregor, these allegations were categorically rejected, she said. Mr McGregor will dispute any claims and is confident that justice will prevail.
THE first lawsuits in what is expected to be a raft of claims against the State have been initiated in the wake of the damning Mother and Baby Homes Report.
The garda investigation into child abuse at Terenure College has widened to include other former teachers at the fee-paying school as well as jailed paedophile rugby coach John McClean.
