Edward Daly (bishop)

Edward Daly (b. December 5 1933, Belleek, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland) was the Catholic bishop of Derry from 1974 to 1993. He was a boarder at St. Columb's College in Derry. He studied for the priesthood in the Irish College in Rome.

Before taking on the role of bishop he was a curate in the parish of St. Eugene's Cathedral, which incorporated the Bogside area of the city, where he experienced the Troubles in Northern Ireland face-on.

During his time in Derry, he took part in the Civil Rights marches; he had first hand experience of the Battle of the Bogside in 1969, the early years of the Troubles, internment, the events of Bloody Sunday 1972 and Operation Motorman. The image of Daly leading a group carrying a dying victim through the streets of Derry in search of aid whilst waving a white tissue on Bloody Sunday are famous the world over [http://www.theconnection.org/content/2003/07/18/0129bloody.jpg] . Daly also worked with RTÉ in Dublin as a Religious Adviser. He has appeared on numerous television programmes and contributed to many television documentaries on religious and Northern Ireland affairs.

Bishop Daly's Motto "Pasce Oves Meas" means 'Pastor my sheep'. The crest with the oak tree and the dove symbolises the wish for a new flowering of peace and strengthening of faith in the city of St. Colmcille and the See of St. Eugene.

Daly retired from his position as bishop of Derry in October 1993, after suffering a stroke, and took up a post as chaplain to Foyle Hospice. His autobiography, "Mister, Are you a Priest?", documents his eventful life. He is also author of "Do Not Let Your Hearts Be Troubled", co-author of "" and has contributed an essay to "A History of the Diocese of Derry".

Daly is a supporter of Derry City F.C. [Mahon, Eddie (1998). "Derry City", Guildhall Press, p. 149.]
