He was next elected to the 11th Seanad in 1965 again by the Labour Panel, and lost his seat at the 1969 Seanad election.[1] He was last elected at a by-election to the 13th Seanad in October 1976 by the Cultural and Educational Panel, following the death of Mary Walsh.

He stood unsuccessfully for Dáil Éireann as a Fine Gael candidate for the Clare constituency at the 1951 and 1954 general elections.[2]
