He was elected to the 22nd Dáil in the 1981 general election and returned to the 23rd Dáil in the February 1982 general election. He was re-elected in the November 1982 general election, sitting in the 24th Dáil. He served as Minister of State at the Department of Trade, Commerce & Tourism from 1982–87.
Moynihan was defeated at the 1987 general election, but returned in the 1989 general election to sit in the 26th Dáil. He did not stand in the 1992 general election, when his seat was retained for the Labour Party by his daughter Breeda Moynihan-Cronin.
