(Not, I am guessing, the subject of (Rev.?) "Arthur O'Leary His Wanderings And Ponderings In Many Lands", and similar books by Charles James Lever.)
Also edited works by Sterndale Bennett, Mendelssohn and Paradies among others (also of Sechter), wrote at least one book (Memories of student life in Germany, 1913, which RAM has in its catalog- they also have an ms song "Address to Scotland" by either o'Leary or Sterndale Bennett but initialed by o'Leary).
Also another book whose title begins "The diatonic & chromatic scales in various forms calculated to promote technical execution" (Ewer/Novello?, ca.1892).
MusicSack gives 15 March 1834, Tralee, died 13 March 1919, London. (Is the first date OS/Julian or Gregorian? I do not know with MusicSack and am not positive when Ireland changed over, will have to check...)
Worldcat gives a number of further works at libraries. Not sure if they're included in the ones you have above (whether any of the songs they list are among the "Six Songs", e.g.; would it be possible to list them or a source where this can be had?)
(Hofmeister, fwiw, up to 1900, lists (most of these you have above, but sometimes without dates. The dates are HMB dates, that is, first published appearance in Germany (well, date that a copy arrived at the Hofmeister of Leipzig mailbox, I'm guessing, but amounts to the same thing much of the time); first appearance in England was often earlier, and can be determined more or less by searching in e.g. Musical Times back-issues or similar (Google Books or archive.org helps here but may be accessible only in the USA.))
