Robert Daly, Church of Ireland bishop of Cashel, Waterford and Lismore (1843 72), is now a largely forgotten figure. Yet for many years in the nineteenth century his was a household name among Protestants and many Catholics. Daly was a person who engendered controversy. To some he was a narrow-minded, bigoted and intolerant man, while to others he was a champion of Protestantism. What is not in doubt is that he was an important and significant member of the Anglican Church, of whom the religious historian James Godkin wrote in the 1860s: He became not only primus inter pares among the evangelical clergy, but ultimately assumed the position and bearing of a Protestant pope .
