Following the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty he fought on the anti-Treaty side in Irish Civil War. He was arrested in March 1923 by National forces and interned until March 1924.

He was elected as a Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) at the 1933 general election for the Kerry constituency. The Irish Independent reported that party politics had small appeal to him and that he made no speeches during the campaign.

Daly was an enthusiastic Gaelic footballer and for many years was the chairman of the South Kerry Gaelic Athletic Association Board.
