He was elected to the 22nd Dáil at the 1981 general election, becoming the first ever Labour Party TD for Kerry South, and returned to the 23rd Dáil at the February 1982 general election.[2] He was re-elected at the November 1982 general election, sitting in the 24th Dáil.

Moynihan was defeated at the 1987 general election, but returned at the 1989 general election to sit in the 26th Dáil. He did not stand at the 1992 general election, when his seat was retained for the Labour Party by his daughter Breeda Moynihan-Cronin.[2]
