Derrick McReary (born 1956, age 52) is a member of McReary Family and seemingly the oldest sibling. He has a drug and alcohol problem, so Patrick asks Niko to keep an eye out for his brother's safety. Derrick has recently returned from Ireland where he assisted the PIRA in fighting the British. Two of Derrick's old friends, Bucky Sligo and Aiden O'Malley, believed that Derrick snitched on them to the authorities and constantly threatened him and his family as result, despite Derrick's claims of innocence. The accusations from his former friends caused him tremendous grief and fueled his drug addictions, although Packie will eventually reveal that he did snitch on them. 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. When his brother, Francis, discovers that Derrick is back in town, he worries that he will reveal Francis' corruption to the press for money. He talks with Derrick in a park as part of an attempt to use Niko to kill him, thinking that he must go outside the law to take down his brother. Niko has a choice of who to kill. The player does not receive anything from Derrick for killing Francis. Derrick's picture is hanging on the wall inside the Lucky Winkles bar, which is one of the fronts of McReary Mob.

Trivia
- Derrick, according to his brothers and Niko, fought in the Troubles in Northern Ireland, probably a volunteer in the PIRA or INLA. This is chronologically correct as the Troubles in N Ireland ended in the 90s, making Derrick around his 20s and 30s when he volunteered in the 70s or 80s. Respectively, this makes Derrick 52 years old as of 2008 (GTA IVs Setting.)
- Despite his soft spot for civilians, which was shown in the Bank Robbery of the Bank Of Liberty, he is extremely dangerous and trigger happy.
- When in the mission "Three Leaf Clover", while fighting the cops and NOOSE, Derrick will often yell "Shit! It's just like being back in the Troubles!", this is yet again another reference to the Northern Ireland Troubles, and proves he was in Ireland at the time, and was involved or witnessed many gunfights between the RUC/British Army and IRA.
