Creevey began his political career in Democratic Left. At the 1997 general election, he stood in the Dublin North-East constituency but he was not elected receiving 3.7% of the first preference votes.[2] In 1999 he was elected to Dublin City Council for the Labour Party which Democratic Left had merged with in the same year. He represented the Artane area.
