A garda drove at 160 kilometres per hour to catch the car he was driving - and say he was arrested after he was asked six times to exit his car.
Conor McGregor pleaded guilty to the charges, and the judge imposed a five-month sentence - which is suspended on the condition he keeps the peace for two years.
He also received a two-year driving ban as well as fines totalling 5,000 euro.
The judge said he noted that Conor McGregor was "remorseful" and said his driving was "persistent, prolonged and deliberate".
