He was elected to the House of Commons as MP. for Queen's County at the 1880 general election, until the constituency was divided at the 1885 general election.

He was elected as an Anti-Parnellite MP in the 1892 general election, holding that seat through the 1895 general election for Donegal East until the 1900 general election when as a QC., he was defeated standing as an Healyite Nationalist for Donegal North.[1]
