Clann na Poblachta party leader Seán MacBride was elected on the same day in a by-election in the Dublin County constituency.

Kinane was re-elected at the 1948 general election for the Tipperary North constituency, but lost his seat at the 1951 general election.[2] He was an unsuccessful candidate at the 1954 general election.[2]
