Discussing family matters. The letters in the Charlie Daly collection concern Irish republican Charlie Daly (in Irish: Cormac Ó Dálaigh). Charlie Daly was born in Knockaneculteen, Firies, Kerry, on 11 August 1896 into a family that was immersed in the Fenian tradition and the Irish Volunteer company in Kerry. Charlie Daly rejected the peace treaty with Britain and became involved in the 2nd Northern Division. Daly was subsequently captured and imprisoned at Drumboe Castle in County Donegal, where he was executed by firing squad on 14 March 1923 along with three other men; Dan Enright, Tim O’Sullivan, and Seán Larkin.
