Conor McGregor, 30, examines his building site where he is constructing eight new homes for those without in Dublin

The 30-year-old athlete, whose estimated worth is some £75 million, often uses social media to show off his glamorous lifestyle, rather than a mucky building site.

McGregor wrote: ‘Back on the site today, it has been a while. This is my first property development.

‘We have eight homes here closing in on finish. Three bedroom houses, designated for families that currently reside in hotels around the capital, without a home to call their own. But not for long. Through the storm comes the sun!

‘Walking around this land and these homes today, meeting all the neighbors, knowing that soon there will be families living here, creating their own memories, and building back their lives, gives me great pride!

‘Ireland forever! Ireland first! Ireland always!’

His usual social media posts gain reaction for their pictures of sports cars, lavish villas and private jets – but his latest pictures warmed his fans.

Shayna Donoghue wrote: ‘That’s amazing! What a great way to give back.’

Many of the locals went out to meet McGregor and take selfies with one of the world’s most famous sports stars

While Allan Gibson said ‘It’s nice to see a sportsman with a new found wealth remembering where he came from and doing good for others. Nice.’

A former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion, McGregor has become one of the sport’s biggest stars and a global celebrity.
