Andy Quirke is an Irish actor and producer [1] best known for his dual performance in Damo and Ivor.
Andy Quirke's father is the late businessman Richard Quirke - owner of the Dr.Quirkey's Good Time Emporium chain of casinos in Dublin [2] . He has a brother, model Wesley Quirke, the husband of 2003 Miss World, Rosanna Davison. [3] The Quirke brothers are estimated to be worth €25 million from their shareholdings in Dr.Quirkey's. [4]
In February 2024, it was reported that a social media channel, associated with Quirke's Damo and Ivor show, had been used to "broadcast far-right rhetoric". Quirke did not comment on it and, while aware of the claims, RTÉ also did not comment on the reports. [5]
In September 2024, Quirke made a number of comments on social media about RTÉ, stating that "RTE is nothing but a daily propaganda machine for a corrupt government that is trying to enforce globalism". [6]
Quirke distributed thousands of Irish tricolour flags ahead of a 26 April 2025 far-right anti-immigration march in Dublin, which was reportedly attended by over 10,000 people. [7] [8]
