He was a member of Westmeath County Council between 1999 and 2016, and represented Fianna Fáil until 2011.[1] In January 2006, he contested Fianna Fáil's nomination to stand at the 2007 general election, being narrowly defeated by Mary O'Rourke.[2] He joined the Independent Alliance for the 2016 election.[1] He contested a 2014 by-election but failed to win a seat.
