He was a professor of Social Medicine at Trinity College Dublin (TCD).[3] he was appointed professor of physiology and biochemistry in the Royal College of Surgeons in 1929, and served as physician at the Meath Hospital from 1930 to 1980.[4]
He was elected to the 7th Seanad on 12 March 1952 at a by-election for the Dublin University constituency caused by the resignation of Gardner Budd.[1] He was defeated at the 1954 Seanad election but was again elected at a by-election on 13 May 1960 caused by the death of William Fearon.[1] He was re-elected to the 10th (1961), 11th (1965) and 12th (1969) Seanad. He lost his seat at the 1973 Seanad election.[2]
