Codd was elected to the 13th Seanad on the Agricultural Panel at a by-election on 23 April 1975 following the deaths of Bob Aylward and Cornelius O'Callaghan. He stood unsuccessfully in the Wexford constituency at the 1977 general election{{cite web |url=http://www.electionsireland.org/candidate.cfm?ID=3226 |title=Patrick Codd |work=ElectionsIreland.org |access-date=21 February 2008}} and did not contest the subsequent elections to the 14th Seanad. He later sought a Fine Gael nomination for the 1982 general election, but at the selection conference he was beaten by Ivan Yates, a then little-known 20-year-old member of Enniscorthy Urban District Council.Tributes to Pat Codd: {{cite web |url=https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/debate/seanad/2006-05-16/3/|title=Deaths of Former Members, Expressions of Sympathy|date=16 May 2006|work=Houses of the Oireachtas|access-date=21 February 2008}}

At the 1979 local elections he was elected as a member of Wexford County Council, serving until the 1985 local elections. He was chairman of the county council from 1984 to 1985, while his son-in-law Martin Dunbar was a Labour Party member of the council.

In later years he was the organiser of the Self-Help Ireland charity in the south-east region, and raised large sums of money for the organisation.
