On 5 February 1922 a convention of Cumann na mBan members was held to discuss the Anglo-Irish Treaty. 419 Cumann na mBan members voted against the treaty, just 63 voted in favour. In the ensuing Civil War, its members largely supported the anti-Treaty Republican forces. Over 400 of its members were imprisoned by the forces of the Provisional government which became in December 1922 the Irish Free State.

His father died when he was six, leaving the family very poor. In January 1927, he became the first anti-Treaty TD to take the Oath of Allegiance and sit in the Dáil Éireann after the establishment of the Irish Free State.
