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 electioncite web |url=http://www.electionsireland.org/candidate.cfm?ID=3226 |title=Patrick (Pat) Codd |work=ElectionsIreland.org |accessdate=2008-02-21] 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=http://historical-debates.oireachtas.ie/S/0183/S.0183.200605160003.html |title=Official Report (Seanad Éireann), Volume 183, 16 May 2006: Deaths of Former Members, Expressions of Sympathy |work=ElectionsIreland.org |accessdate=2008-02-21]

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.
