Is Derek Domino a real person?

Or is he an AI bot?

This "Oirish" You Tube shock jock and right-wing influencer is the most horrid piece of flaccid middle-aged gammon that Ireland has produced in recent years, in my humble opinion, and that remember is from a country that produced John Waters. (the maggot-haired Roscommon former columnist, that is, not the renowned director of gay porn movies).

Derek Domino purports to be an "ordinary" "Irish" "Hard working" member of the squeezed middle and regularly rails about the terrible state of chassis to which the country has been brought by the woke, elite, D4, lanyard-wearing…blah..blah..cliché..cliché.

Here is his most recent apoplectic rant on the subject of the Rose of Tralee because, horror of horrors, the Dublin Rose is of Somali ancestry. What is the world coming to???😡😡😡

Actually, I think it would be a good thing if people such as he were replaced by nice people from outside these shores, like the charming new Dublin Rose.

But is DD a real person? They can do wonderful (and some dreadful) things with AI these days. He could be just a piece of venomous software. Although who could be bothered creating something as bilious and stupid?

With a last name like "domino", a test from MyHeritage or the like might give Derek a few things to think about.

The only thing worse than a Gen Z rage bait hoor is a middle aged rage bait hoor.

The Dublin Rose being black is a genocide on the Irish people and a road to hell.

I'm guessing he is single?

I'd say his missus left him for a Turkish waiter in Kusadasi!

Billy Mays · 14-05-2026 09:39AM

Wonder what his username on here is

Comhrá · 14-05-2026 09:43AM

I used to enjoy his musings but he seems to have become increasingly bitter and cynical in recent months.

Cyclingtourist · 14-05-2026 09:45AM

I watched one of his YT videos about a year ago, he's a boring old fart.

Is he a real person, don't know, he could be an actor following a script but probably not.

Has no journalist identified him?

Why would they, he is hardly news is he?

Lots of things aren't news but still get reported.

Everything that gets reported is news.

But my point stands, what angle would you take on this no neck crank to turn it into "news"?

Well if the minor ruminations of d-list celebs are worthy of journalistic interest I would have thought the identity of someone who gets quite a lot of views on YT might also.

Apparently not

He doesn't get quite a lot of view though does he?

So he wouldn't be even mentioned in Popular Youtuber pieces. Top 10s, etc.

D-List Celebs would be the realms of gossip mags and rag tops, there is a market for that.

Can't see a market or a news story for middle aged no neck rage baiter vents rage.

plodder · 14-05-2026 11:06PM

I wonder about the wisdom of publicising people like this, but I wasn't aware of the Dublin Rose of Tralee winner. So now I am, and say "up with this sort of thing!" She is lovely !!

I'd never heard of him til this thread and I work in PR.

Same here. I wish that was still the case.

fergiesfolly · 15-05-2026 01:11PM

Seen him on YouTube a few times. Atypical of the sort that lives in a bubble. I doubt he's listened to an opposing view since the last century.Loves his own wit ( crature). Everything seen through a prism of government bad, foreigners bad, Greens, Leftists evil.

Treat him like a bluebottle during summer. Swat him away. There'll be another one along shortly

extreme whiff of "I failed at life, I'll blame migrants"

silliussoddius · 15-05-2026 02:34PM

Hasn’t done anything good since Layla.

Hangdogroad · 15-05-2026 09:57PM

Never heard of him up to now but he seems to be a sad loser.

Jim_Hodge · 15-05-2026 10:22PM

Happily never heard of him until this thread. Seems like a loser who doesn't deserve any publicity or being allowed into the light at all.

I have never heard of him until now and I'm a journalist.

Or maybe an Eric Clapton fan.

Do you seriously think Domino is his real name?

He wants a pizza the action 😉

He's a bit dotty alright!

prunudo · 17-05-2026 07:46PM

Derek is great, enjoy his humour and wit. Not surprising that some people are triggered by him, but thats the beauty with the Internet, we can watch what we like and it doesn't impact anyone else. Thankfully personal choice is still a thing within the EU, for now at least.

maccored · 17-05-2026 08:37PM

triggered? 🤣

Must be lost on him that the rose of tralee was a tourism thing set up in the late 50s where americans of very very vague irish heritage more than likely paid a few quid to be part of. its the colour thats the issue with these people, and we all know what people who have issues with other people because of their colour are referred to as

Burt Renaults · 17-05-2026 08:53PM

First time I've ever heard of him. Silly old man who puts on a cheap tie and makes videos of himself being a racist. Each to their own, of course, but I'm sure there are more entertaining racists out there. I'll say one thing about the Nazis (the actual Nazis, not the modern-day YouTube equivalent) - they were well dressed. This old fart needs to sharpen his act, big-time.

Is Derek Domino a real person?
