Married to Hannah FitzGerald, they had six children: Daniel, Nell, Norah, May, Kay and Thomas.

In the 1892 general election he was chosen on the recommendation of Michael Davitt, who continued to advocate for a place for labour within the nationalist movement, as candidate for the anti-Parnellite Irish National Federation and was elected "Labour Nationalist" MP for Queen's County (Ossory Division).

Then at the suggestion of Davitt sat for South East Cork from 1900 as a member of the re-united Irish Parliamentary Party, after defeating the Healyite candidate, and was again returned in 1906.

During the previous June, when Arthur Griffith asked O’Brien to have the writ moved for his candidacy in the East Cavan by-election, O'Brien sent two AFIL MPs to Westminster where Crean moved the writ.
