He later became a property developer.[3] He became active in Liverpool politics as a representative of the Irish Nationalist Party, becoming a member of Liverpool City Council. He was a personal friend of the party leader, Charles Stewart Parnell, who persuaded him to run for Parliament in South Longford, for which he was elected in 1885.[4] In 1888, he resigned his seat, citing ill-health.[5] There are no recorded contributions by him in the House of Commons. He died in New Brighton in 1908.[6] Endnotes1. ^The Times, 7 March 1908 2. ^The Times, 4 December 1885 3. ^The Times, 7 March 1908 4. ^The Times, 7 March 1908 5. ^The Times, 28 April 1888 6. ^The Times, 7 March 1908 External links
