Derrick McReary (Irish: Darragh Mac Ruairi) is a 52-year old member of McReary Family and the oldest sibling.

Description

Derrick was born to Maureen McReary and Mr. McReary in Dukes. Born in 1956, he is the oldest one of their children, followed by Francis, Gerry, Packie and Kate. He was arrested at three different protests in the early 1970s, all before he was 18. In 1978, he and Bucky Sligo were arrested for armed robbery when Derrick snitched on him, later taking heavy drugs to forget the incident and going into denial. He was arrested in 1980 for cocaine possession and according to the LCPD, his heroin addiction was picked up in prison. In 1985, the last of his American criminal record was him getting caught carrying explosives.

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.

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.

Recent reports indicate that he was arrested in Ireland. May be returning to the US.

Trivia

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!", or "I ain't seen combat like this since Belfast!", 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 PIRA.
Derrick and Packie slip about who they are during the bank robbery.
Derrick's portraits are hung on the wall inside the Steinway Beer Garden and Lucky Winkles bar.
Derrick drives a Willard.
Derrick's most favorite radio station is The Journey.
Francis McReary threw Derrick a farewell dinner in Chinatown before he went to Ireland.
If he was killed in the mission "Blood Brothers", his tombstone at the Steinway like his brother, but with a small gravestone saying; "Here lies Derrick McReary, Brave, Honest, Shot Dead".
