Coming from a political family, he is the son of former Taoiseach Liam Cosgrave and grandson of the first President of the Executive Council W. T. Cosgrave.
He was elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1981 general election as a Fine Gael Teachta Dála (TD) for Dún Laoghaire and re-elected at the February 1982 and November 1982 general elections. He lost his seat at the 1987 general election, and was unsuccessful again at the 1989 and 1992 general elections.
In 1993 he was elected to Seanad Éireann on the Industrial and Commercial Panel, serving as Cathaoirleach, and was re-elected in 1997 to the 21st Seanad. At the 2002 general election he was again an unsuccessful candidate for the Dáil in Dún Laoghaire, and he did not contest the Seanad elections of that year.
