In that election, he also stood in Tullamore, where he finally took a seat. In Parliament, he served as a whip for the Irish Parliamentary Party. He held his seat in each subsequent election until his death in 1914.
In 1883, he married Susan Wilson, of Ballycastle, County Antrim.
He died at his residence at 70 Waterloo Road, Dublin, on 12 October 1914.
