Edward Daly: Born in Limerick in 1891. He was the only boy amongst nine sisters. His family had a history of republican activity. His father had taken part in the rebellion of 1867 and later shared a cell with Tom Clarke.

The Christian Brothers considered him “not by any means a brilliant pupil”. He led the First Battalion during the Rising which raided the Bridewell, eventually seizing control of the Four Courts. Daly’s men fought pitched battles around the narrow streets of Smithfield and the Market area of Dublin capturing 24 members of the Metropolitan Police as well as a British Colonel. In retaliation, the British soldiers battered their way into houses along North King street and shot male residents indiscriminately.

Daly was the youngest to be executed, on 4 May 1916.
