He was elected to Dáil Éireann at a by-election in 1953 following the death of the Labour Party Teachta Dála (TD) Seán Keane.[2] He was re-elected at each subsequent election until he retired at the 1981 general election. From 1961 he was elected for the Cork North-East constituency.[3]
In 1973, he was appointed a Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Health on the nomination of Taoiseach Liam Cosgrave and served till 1977.[2] His daughter Myra Barry was elected in a by-election in 1979 for the same constituency of Cork North-East.
