A farmer before entering politics, he was first elected to Dáil Éireann as a National Centre Party Teachta Dála (TD) for the Longford–Westmeath constituency at the 1933 general election.[1] He became a Fine Gael TD on 8 September 1933 when Cumann na nGaedheal and the National Centre Party, along with the Army Comrades Association merged to form the new party of Fine Gael. He was elected as a Fine Gael TD for the Meath–Westmeath constituency at the 1937 general election. He was re-elected at the 1938, 1943 and 1944 general elections.[2]

He left Fine Gael in 1947.[3] He was elected as an Independent TD for Longford–Westmeath at the 1948 and 1951 general elections. He re-joined Fine Gael in 1954 and was elected as a Fine Gael TD for Longford–Westmeath at the 1954 general election, and was re-elected at the 1957 general election.
