Career
He was Director of Finance and commander of the 2nd Company in Dolphins Barn in the organisation, Fianna Éireann from August 1915 until the Easter Rising in 1916.[2] From January 1917 to June 1917 he became Adjutant general of the organization.[3]
He was elected at the 1923 general election as Teachta Dála (TD) for the Galway constituency, but in accordance with Sinn Féin's abstentionist policy, he did not take his seat.[4] He lost his seat at the June 1927 general election, and did not stand again.[4]
