Background
Not much is known about Irish, except that he had a lot of respect for Pisco. It is stated that Pisco was like a father to Irish. Pisco was an elderly member of the Black Organization who was killed by Gin. Ever since, Irish has had a strong grudge against Gin. It is not known if Irish ever killed anyone, but it is assumed that he had in the past.
Personality
Irish wasn't a very high ranking member, though he was quite smart. It is very apparent that Irish lacked a high rank in the organization when Gin cold-heartedly ordered Chianti to shoot him. Irish had managed to find out Conan was actually Shinichi relatively quickly. Ran arrived at Tokyo Tower and found Irish (still disguised as Matsumoto) brutally beating Conan. He shot a bullet at her, but she dodged it and gush out a gun from his hand. Then the fight began, Irish rashly attacked Ran assigning a hard kick on her face and when he was to complete, Ran mow him down and tried to concentrate. This time, Irish's next hard attacks were successfully stoped by Ran and she used karate, but a kick to his face teared off part of his mask, thus surprised her. Irish used this to his advantage and overpowered Ran. As it is seen during the duel with Ran, Irish was a very harsh person and wasn't afraid to hit a girl. In fight, Irish was very reliable of his own strength, he didn't prefered any techniques and never took defense position. His strong body he used and tall size gave him additional advantage. Like Gin and Vermouth, Irish had a high pain tolerance. When Ran kicked him, part of his mask was torn off. He became furious and reciprocated more powerful kick to her. Beside that Ran's kick allowed him to enjoy the fight even more. For anoher example: when Chianti shot him, he was seroiuly injured by the bullet and was barely alive. Conan tried to drag him to safety but Gin noticed him and tried to shoot him. Irish protected him and died. It is very possible that Pisco's death may have caused Irish's cold-blooded and harsh personality. He didn't hesitated when he shot a bullet at Ran and he hit Conan so hard that he flew a few meters away and collapsed on the floor. Even after that Irish just continued beating him. Throughout the series it seems that Makoto and Irish are the only who can defeat Ran in fight.
Irish was also a master of disguise. He disguised as Kiyonaga Matsumoto as he investigated the true identity of Conan.
Relationships analysis
Black Organization
Pisco
Irish looks up to and admires Pisco. He is therefore devastated when Pisco is cold-heartedly killed by Gin.
Gin, Vodka, Chianti, and Korn
The four other Black Organization members seem to look down on Irish. Gin doesn't hesitate when he orders Chianti to shoot him. Chianti doesn't question Gin's assassination command and Korn, who usually remains silent, says that he wanted to shoot him, hinting that he wouldn't think twice about killing Irish.
Trivia
- Irish had strange eyebrows.
- He overpowered Ran in fight.
- Beside Vermouth, Irish is the only member of the Black Organization who showed respect for Conan. When Chianti shot Irish, Conan tried to drag him to safety while he was still alive but Chianti shot again and Irish protected him and died. His final words to Conan were, "Kudo Shinichi...Keep...coming after us...". It quite sounds like Conan gained upon Irish's confidence that moment.
