Stance on the Anglo-Irish Treaty He was re-elected unopposed at the 1921 elections for the Limerick City–Limerick East constituency. He opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty and voted against it, stating in the Dáil debate: He was again re-elected unopposed at the 1922 general election as an anti-Treaty Sinn Féin Teachta Dála (TD) but did not take his seat in the Dáil as he did not recognise the legitimacy of the Third Dáil.
