He was elected to South Dublin County Council at the 1999 local elections representing the Clondalkin–Newcastle local electoral area.
On 13 May 2008, shortly after Brian Cowen became Taoiseach, he was appointed as Minister of State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs with special responsibility for Drugs Strategy and Community Affairs.[2]
In the junior ministerial reshuffle on 22 April 2009, he was appointed Minister of State at the Departments of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs; Education and Science; and Justice, Equality and Law Reform with special responsibility for Integration and Community.
On 23 March 2010, following a cabinet reshuffle, he was appointed as Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach with special responsibility as Government Chief Whip and at the Department of Defence.[3]
He lost his seat at the 2011 general election,[2] but regained it in the 2016 general election[4]
