{{nihongo|'''Irish'''|アイリッシュ|Airisshu}} is a non-canon [[Black Organization]] member.
  
 
== Background ==
 
== 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.

Irish had a lot of respect for [[Pisco]] and considers him to be like a father. He is therefore devastated when Pisco is cold-heartedly executed and his body left to turn into ashes, then he holds a deep grudge against [[Gin]] and plans to discredit him before the [[The Boss|boss]]. He disguised himself as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto|Matsumoto]]<ref>His assumed identity can be deduced from the beginning, since Matsumoto doesn't recognize who is Ran, although the real superintendent is aware of it, since they met before and she asked him about his daughter.</ref> to infiltrate the police and retrieve a missing data card with information on the organization's Non-official covers, possessed by a serial killer who had murdered their NOC [[Masaaki Okakura]]. While following the investigation, he becomes curious about [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], researches him, and eventually discovers that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]].
  
== Personality and Skills==
+
Knowing that he is going to catch the culprit on the night of Tanabata, he knocks the other detectives out, helps Conan to defeat the criminal, and recovers the data card. After getting rid of [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], he chases Conan until the roof of the Tokyo Tower. At the very moment that he gains 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, orders his death. He is shot by [[Chianti]], but is not fatally wounded. Conan then tries to carry him to a safe place and force him to reveal the boss' true identity, but Gin, noticing this attempt, asks Chianti to fire again. He 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."
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 managed to find out [[Conan]] was actually Shinichi relatively quickly. It is possible that Pisco's death and Irish's subsequent desire to avenge him by getting Gin demoted may have influenced Irish's cold-blooded and harsh personality.  
 
  
Irish was a master of disguise although limited to disguising as large men because of his stature. He disguised as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]] as he followed the police developments and investigated the true identity of Conan.

== Personality ==
 +
He is quite smart and endowed with deduction skills, as he manages to find out that Conan is actually Shinichi relatively quickly when he has only met him once. He also becomes suspicious about Conan only from hearing a few comments from other officers. However, he is far from being as shrewd as Conan in case solving, as during the police investigation he is limited to recording the facts without suggesting any useful ideas. He shows no hesitation at using lethal and ruthless force. He enjoys challenges and appreciates Ran's karate skills. Confrontations are enjoyable for him, continues to hunt Conan after beating him down.
  
Irish was a capable martial artist, and was one of the very few characters able to defeat Ran in hand to hand combat although Irish's victory was partially due to taking advantage of an opening while Ran was distracted. His strong body and tall size gave him an additional combat advantage. Like Gin and [[Vermouth]], Irish had a high pain tolerance, staying conscious after a very bad fall down metal stairs and being shot by Chianti.

Irish shows no hesitation at using lethal force and is ruthless in fights. He seems to enjoy challenges, shown in his appreciation of Ran's karate skill and interest in testing Ran's bold claim that she could dodge a bullet.

He is skilled in disguising himself, although his large stature constrains him to play only characters of that body type. He is also not as skilled as Vermouth in this practice.

He single-handedly knocks out six police officers and a security employee, although it is very likely he hit them from behind. In addition, he is able to stand up to Ran in a hand-to-hand fight, defeating her after a balanced confrontation. Even if unarmed, he could defeat a criminal carrying a stun gun with a single punch. He is just as precise useing 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. As other organization members, he has a high pain tolerance, staying conscious after a very bad fall down metal stairs and after having been shot with a sniper.

This started a hand to hand fight, with Irish rashly attacking Ran with a hard kick to her face and Ran counterattacking from the floor.
