Michael "Haulie" Daly (1922 – June 1991) was an Irish hurler who played as a forward for the Clare senior team.[1]
Born in Clarecastle, County Clare, Daly first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-three when he first linked up with the Clare senior team. He made his debut during the 1944 championship. Daly later became a regular member of the starting fifteen, and won one National Hurling League medal.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, Daly won two Railway Cup medals. At club level he was a three-time championship medallist with Clarecastle.
His brothers, John and Pat Joe Daly, both played for Clare, while his nephew, Anthony Daly, was a two-time All-Ireland-winning captain with Clare.[2][3][4]
Throughout his career Daly made 6 championship appearances. He retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1952 championship.
In retirement from playing Daly became involved in politics. He was elected to Clare County Council as a Fianna Fáil member in 1974 and was re-elected in 1979. During his second term on the council he acted as vice-chairman.
