Patrick added the O' to his surname to become O'Daly. Of course there was the O’Daly Bardic School from 13th to 17th century in Dromnea, Kilcrohane, West Cork. The modern Irish surnames O'Daly, Daly, Daley, Daily, Dailey and Dawley are derived from Ó Dálaigh.  At the beginning of the 20th century with an increasing desire for independence from England many Irish people added the O' to the English version of their surname from the original Irish name and it seems that Patrick did similar from the original Ó Dálaigh to Daly to O'Daly.

We read about Patrick on the site "Remembering the men who said no"   https://www.menwhosaidno.org/men/men_files/o/o'daly_patrick.html
which has the following text:

"PATRICK O'DALY 1876 - Patrick O'Daly was one of many Conscientious Objectors who held several grounds for objecting to war and conscription. While working as a gardener at the Botanic Gardens, Kew, he applied for exemption as a Conscientious Objector at the Brentford Tribunal. His hearing was in late June 1916, having avoided call-up earlier due to his age - at 40, he was near to the extreme end of the age range Conscripted under the Military Service Act 1916. He made his stand on several grounds, stating that "I am a Catholic, an Irishman and a Socialist, and hold all war to be organised slaughter and commercial rivalry". His application was for absolute exemption, and he made it clear that he would not accept any compromise, seeing his then employment as the most useful service he could offer to the country. His Tribunal was unsympathetic, possibly due to the fact that it was manned largely by Patrick's "political opponents" as he remarked he had "been a rival with two of the members for a seat on the council" and had publicly disagreed with them on matters of local and imperial politics. Given these conditions, it's unsurprising that Patrick's application for exemption was rejected. His uncompromising resistance to militarism led him from arrest, to court martial to prison, where he would remain for the rest of the war."
