Derrick is being spelled Deiric in Irish recently although not a name traditionally used in Ireland. The native name Darach is also being used.
It's probable that over 50% of Walkers are of English origin with another 25% of
Scottish origin (Mac an Fhùcadair). That leaves about 1/5 of native Irish origin (or hibernicized through intermarriage).
Although it became somewhat popular to gaelicize surnames in the early 1900s
it is more usual today to leave surnames of non-Irish origin in their original spelling.
It is possible that the Walkers of Kilkenny and surrounding counties may have
anglicized their original surname. The actress Máire Nic Shiubhlaigh was born
Mary Walker of a Co. Kildare family. The male version would be modernized as
Mac Siúlaí.
