In the interview, McGregor made a bold statement about the state of governance in Ireland and how he believes it must change.

McGregor said:

"I am of the belief that the era of the politician must end. It must come to an end. It has proven unfruitful. And that is clear as day. By the statistics and by what we see around us. It is straight chancery. And our appointed ministers have no history in the roles that they're appointed to."

He continued:

"Our Minister of Finance has no history in accounting. Our Minister of Health has no history in the health industry. Our Minister of Education was never a school teacher...It is straight chancery we are dealing with. The era of the politician must end, Tucker."

McGregor criticized "unqualified" politicians for not having any history in the fields they're appointed to.
