None of the four took their seats, for Sinn Féin ran on an abstentionist platform.

In 1960, he was imprisoned for one month in Mountjoy Prison after refusing to pay a fine for the offence of collecting money for republican prisoners' dependents without a permit.{{cite web |url=http://indiamond6.ulib.iupui.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/IrishNews/id/2851/rec/5 |title=Saoirse: Irish Freedom, issue 093 (January 1995), p.15 |website=indiamond6.ulib.iupui.edu |access-date=17 April 2017|archive-date=18 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170418083735/http://indiamond6.ulib.iupui.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/IrishNews/id/2851/rec/5|url-status=live}}
