McGregor's new yacht will be docked in Dun Laoghaire harbour.

He tweeted about his new baby:

"St. Lamborghini yacht day," before following up with a picture containing extensive details around where the yacht would end up.

The most noticeable detail, however, was the inclusion of 'Dún Laoghaire Marina', clearly indicating that McGregor's new super yacht will reside on Irish shores.
