Derrick | Derrick left for Ireland in the late 1980s - Francis McReary claims he was caught "stealing from the mafia", while Packie says he was merely depressed and a dedicated activist of Ireland (in [[Three Leaf Clover]]). He, [[Bucky Sligo]] and [[Aiden O'Malley]] (all Irish men from Liberty City) all fought in the Provisional IRA against the British. | ||

The player does not receive anything from Derrick for killing Francis. | He seems to be the most compassionate of all the McReary children, as is shown with the way he tries to calm down the bank staff and customers during the heist.
