To all descendants of the Daly family, Limerick

I hope this book will help to bring my grand-uncle Commandant Edward Daly out of relative obscurity, to a greater recognition of the part he played in the Easter Rising. I am very grateful to all at OBrien Press for giving me this opportunity, particularly Michael OBrien and my editor Susan Houlden; also series editors Lorcan Collins and Run ODonnell: Lorcan was especially helpful.

I particularly wish to thank the following: Dr Anne Cameron, Archives Assistant, Andersonian Library, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow; Maira Canzonieri, Assistant Librarian, Royal College of Music, London; Linda Clayton, Association of Professional Genealogists in Ireland, for tracing Molly Keegans life; Maeve Conlan, daughter of Johnny OConnor, who gave me transcripts of interviews given by her father; Bernie Hannigan, daughter of Patrick Kelly, who gave me a copy of her fathers memoir; Randel Hodkinson, Limerick; Lar Joye, National Museum of Ireland; Mary Monks, Vancouver; Paul OBrien, for giving me a tour of the Four Courts battlefield; Professor Eunan OHalpin, Trinity College, Dublin; Dr Terence ONeill (Colonel, retd) for advice on military strategy; Joseph Scallan, Limerick, for tracking down archives; Deirdre Shortall, Dublin, for translating Irish texts.

I wish to thank the staff of the following institutions for their assistance: The Bureau of Military History, Cathal Brugha Barracks, Dublin; East Sussex Record Office, Lewes, East Sussex; The Frank McCourt Museum, Limerick; Ken Bergin and his staff, Glucksman Library, University of Limerick; Limerick City Archives; Limerick City Museum; Limerick County Museum; National Archives, Bishop Street, Dublin; National Archives, Kew, London; The National Library of Ireland; The National Museum of Ireland.

I thank my husband Frank for his unwavering love, support and patience, and all my family and friends for listening to my moans about lack of material. Above all, my grateful thanks are due to Edward Dalys closest living relatives: his nephew and niece Edward and Laura Daly OSullivan of Limerick, his nieces Nra and Mairad de hir, also of Limerick, and their sister-in-law Siobhin de hir, of Dublin, who all gave generously of time, advice, anecdotes, photographs and documents. I must also thank my cousin Michael ONolan for help with documents and photographs, and all my relatives of the ONolan and OSullivan families. I happily dedicate this book to them, and to all the Daly descendants, however far-flung.
