Deirdre McTucker/Deirdre Nic Thuachair (AKA Damhnait McKenna) was one of three co-leaders of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Irish branch of Generation Identity (GI) (alongside Tore Rasmussen, Tom Dupre) and was the public face of the branch. Born in Belfast, grew up in Dublin but mostly active in Britain, there is some confusion over her age; she claims on social media to have been born on 14 October 1977, although in an interview with Brittany Pettibone in October 2017 she stated she was 38. Prior to setting up the Irish branch of GI, McTucker travelled frequently between Ireland and the US from 1995-2015. McTucker has claimed that from 1995-1997 she attended the US Marine Corps MCIS Intelligence School in Virginia, where she graduated as an S2 Intelligence Specialist. McTucker was jailed for 1 year for assault in December 2019.
