Contents
Background
Not much is known about Irish, except that he had a lot of respect for Pisco. It is not known if he ever killed anyone, but it is assumed that he had in the past.
Personality and Skills
Irish seems quite smart, and endowed with deduction skills: he manages to find out Conan is actually Shinichi relatively quickly, whereas he has only met him once; and he becomes suspicious about Conan only be hearing a few comments from other officers. Besides, the method he uses to verify his theory is accurate and efficient. However, he is far from being as shrewd as Conan in case solving: during the police investigation, he is limited to record the facts without bringing any useful ideas.
He has been shown to be skilled in desguising himself, although his large stature constrains him to play only characters of the body shape; he is also less qualified than Vermouth in this practice. Even though, he manages to remain undiscovered until the end of the movie.
Irish is a capable martial fighter, whose strong body can count on well-mastered battle techniques. He defeats single-handedly six police officers and a security emloyee, although it is very likely he hit them from behind. What's more, he is able to stand up to Ran in a hand-to-hand fight; he even vainquishes her after a balanced confrontation, but his winning strike may have relied on the element of surprise. This does not mean Irish always benefit from advantages during his fights: it has been shown he could defeat a criminal armed with a stun gun, without using weapons himself, and with a single punch. He is as precise when he uses guns as when he fights with his fists - for instance, he disables all of Conan's gadgets by firing at them without hurting him in any way.
Irish shows no hesitation at using lethal and ruthless force. He seems to enjoy challenges, appreciates Ran's karate skills. Confrontations appear to be a real enjoyment for him, almost a game - which is particularly shown when he beats Conan, and then hunts him.
As other Organization members, he has a high pain tolerance, staying conscious after a very bad fall down metal stairs and, above all, after having been shot with a sniper.
His rank in the Organization has not been exposed. But the way the other members act with him would imply he does not benefit from a high position. Gin scolds him like a subordinate, and does not hesitate in giving the order to kill him. He appears to take this decision without deliberating, without fearing any consequences and, above all, without an order from the Boss of the Organization - whereas he needed a direct order to eliminate the executive agent Pisco. Nevertheless, Irish declares to Conan that he his going to bring him in front of his Boss, which could suggest he is sufficiently high ranked to directly contact him.
Plot overview
Irish disguised as Kiyonaga Matsumoto to infiltrate the Tokyo Metropolitan police and retrieve a missing data card with informations with the Organization's Non Official Covers. This data card is possessed by the culprit of a large-scale serial murder case. While following the investigation, Irish records informations about Conan, and eventually discovers he is actually Shinichi.
The evolution of the investigation leads all the police inspectors to the Tokyo Tower. Knowing that he is going to catch the culprit there, Irish knocks the other detectives out, helps Conan to defeat the criminal, and recovers the data card . But he then has to fight against Conan himself, and against Ran, who was looking for him and finally found him in the tower. After having get ridded of her, he chases Conan until the roof of the tower. At the very moment he manages to takes a decisive advantage over him, he is found by the Organization's helicopter. Gin, recording that he has the data card in his possession, and that his cover has been undisclosed - as Vermouth had signaled him the real superintendant had been found - orders his death. He is shot by Chianti, but is not fatally wounded. Conan then tries to carry him to a safe place, but Gin, noticing this attempt, asks Chianti to fire again.
Irish protects Conan from the sniper's bullet with his own body, a movement that causes his death. His last words are "Shinichi Kudo...keep coming...after us."
Relationships analysis
Black Organization
Pisco
Irish admires Pisco and considers him like a father. He is therefore devastated when Pisco is cold-heartedly executed by Gin.
Gin
Irish holds a deep grudge against Gin for having killed Pisco, and having left his body turn into ashes. He depicts him as a cold-hearted bastard, searches a way to take him down in the Organization; to do so, he desires to show his Boss the mistake Gin made when he did not kill Shinichi - to provoke his disgrace. This even leads him to act against the Organisation's projects, since he does not reveal to anyone Shinichi's true identity. Besides, Irish's enmity is mutual. Gin talks to him with despise, scolds him, and exhorts him to do correctly the job he has been assigned. This job is the only reason Gin even speaks to him; after having seen this job has been done, he immediately orders his death.
Vermouth
Even though their relationship is unknown, and that they probably don't really know each others, Vermouth is the only member to show some sympathy, or respect, from Irish. At least, that is what is implied when she reveals his codename to Conan, before adding that Irish whiskey is nicely distilled, with a mild taste. Furthermore, and the end of the movie, Irish refers to Vermouth's opinion about Conan; this detail may indicate that they have already talked together.
Chianti
Chianti does not hesitate a single second to execute Irish, whereas he is, like her, a member of the Organization. She even displays a sadistic smile after having shot him down with her sniper.
Korn
Korn is usually silent, but when Chianti fires at Irish, he declares that he would have liked to shoot. This suggests he does not really care about this member's life.
Vodka
After Gin has given the order to kill Irish, Vodka is the only one to have a word of protestation. But he it probably because he fears some consequences from the Organization's headquarters, since he keeps quiet after that.
Conan
Irish and Conan are opponents, and he even displays some crualty while beating and hunting him. However, he ends up using his own body to protect his life from Chianti's sniper. His last words, which exhort Conan to keep chasing the organisation, suggest that he eventually gained his confidence. Beside Vermouth, he is the only non-undercover member of the Organization to have shown respect for him. As for Conan, he tries to carry Irish's body out of Chianti's fire range, and tells him he is going to give him medical treatments. But this is probably because he wants him to give informations about his Boss' location; and also because Conan always does his best to save a life.
