The '''Irish''' refers to an Irish-American criminal organization headed by the [[McReary family]] and based throughout [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]. They operate in [[Dukes]] and formerly the West Side in [[Purgatory]], [[Algonquin]].
The McReary crime family are a Irish-American Mafia Family based throughout [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]. They operate in [[Dukes]] and formerly the West Side in [[Purgatory]], [[Algonquin]].


In GTA Chinatown Wars, the Irish criminal presence in Liberty City is known as the '''Irish American Killers''', presumably serving as a direct successor to the McReary crime family.

== Description ==
== Description ==
The Irish used to be a powerful force in Liberty City, but its influence has diminished greatly as of late. The gang controls [[Purgatory]] in Algonquin, as well as most of [[Broker]], but the expansion of the Italian Mafia and Russian Bratva encroached on their empire. Also, most of the gang members have a tendency to spend their money on drugs, alcohol, and women rather than saving it and using it to expand the family's interests. As a result, the gang consists of mostly hired guns.

Gerry has been in and out of prison over the years, significantly damaging any stability the gang hoped to maintain. With Gerry back in prison, the leadership has fallen mostly on [[Patrick McReary]] ("Packie"), the youngest of the family. Under Packie's control, the gang has been reduced to hired mercenaries for the [[Pegorino Family]], working for the incompetent [[Ray Boccino]], or dealing drugs for Elizabeta Torres. Other members include a former Provisional IRA member named [[Derrick McReary]], the eldest brother, who has been crippled by heroin addiction. He was in charge of the gang but quickly relinquished control to Gerry, and has since alienated former members [[Bucky Sligo]] and [[Aiden O'Malley]] by allegedly giving them up to the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|Liberty City Police Department]].
