The Daly family and their republication involvement by Martin Daly, Deelish House:
My grandfather Timothy (Timmy) Daly was a member of the old IRA, little is know how active he was during the war of Independence (as he rarely spoke of it to his family and even when it came up in conversation he would be very vague about his involvement) but he did have a revolver on his person during these years, which he later buried after the cease fire of the civil war was called. He along with other family members sided with the anti-treaty side and he remained a strong critic of the treaty until his death.
His sister Eibhlín Ní Dhálaigh was a member of "Cumann na mBan", she worked as a nurse in Cork city and it was here she joined this organization. She was imprisoned during the war with Annie McSwiney (Terence's sister) and as a result of the conditions and her time spent in jail she suffered from ill health for the rest of her life and died at the young age of 47.
Deelish Hse. the home of the Daly family was a 'safe house' during these war years, where those fighting the crown forces would stay whilst the house would be guarded by volunteers in case these forces would stumble on the volunteers while they slept.
Patrick O'Daly, a cousin of Timmy, emigrated to the UK in the early 1900s and had strong republican beliefs which prevented him from joining the crown forces during the first world war and because of this he was court marshalled and imprisoned from the remainder of the war years.
