In 1933 he joined Fine Gael on its formation and unsuccessfully stood as a party candidate at the 1937 and 1943 general elections for the Waterford constituency.
He was elected to the 2nd Seanad on the Labour Panel in 1938. He served in the Seanad until losing his seat at the 1957 Seanad election. He was re-elected on the Labour Panel at the 1961 Seanad election, and he did not contest the 1965 election.
