I am going to stick to facts, everyone i have met on the mizen penisula who was called Daly pronunced it Daly, as jackie daly pronounces it.[about four or five]
It is not about arguing for the sake of it as Jim seems to be under the impression.it is about being factually accurate,it is difficult enough for uk people to pronounce irish names correctly o mahony is a case in point, whooley is another which has at least two alternatives. coughlan is also prponounced differently in cork city, to in ballydehob.
as someone who is interested in dialects and accents i am fascinated by this and believe it important to try and be accurate
For the record i have twice booked jim at my festival. he has always been paid his agreed fee.
I also passed on his details to an organiser who wanted to book him
.[Hello Dick

Thanks for replying on the Mudcat link.
Ours is a monthly concert club in South Lincolnshire and Jim is somebody who we would like to ask, at some point, to guest for us. A contact number, or address, would be much appreciated.

Many thanks
