He held the seat until 1865, being re-elected as an Independent Irish Party candidate in 1857, and then as a Liberal Party candidate, upon its creation, in 1859.[3]
He was later elected MP as a Liberal candidate for New Ross in the 1868 general election and held the seat until 1874 when he stood down.[3]
