Edward Daly was born in Limerick in 1891. He came to Dublin about three years before the 1916 Rising, and resided with his sister, Mrs. Tom Clarke. He was in command of the North-Western Area, Dublin, during Easter Week. He was a most popular officer beloved by his own men and winning admiration even from the enemy.

"I remember well", writes a priest, " seeing Commandant Daly coming down from the prison cell. He was calm and brave as when he was with his men in Church Street Area." He faced the firing-squad in Kilmainham Jail on 4th May, 1916.
