Biography[]
Daniel was the owner of the O'Flaherty's Tavern in the Northside District of Night City, where he lived alongside his daughter Bridget. The establishment was right in front of the Holy Angels Church, where Daniel occasionally collaborated as one of its deacons, and where many of the bar's patrons attended.
The NCPD believed that Daniel harbored local Irish countrymen in trouble in the pub's upstairs rooms, and suspected the establishment itself of being a stop on the underground railroad for I.R.A. members. Deals for weapons destined for the Northern Irish Pacification Zone took place in the back booths, though.[1]
