On his release in 1989 he joined Sinn Féin and became part of their negotiating team leading to the Good Friday Agreement, followed by the Saint Andrew's Agreement and later the Hillsborough Agreement.

He was elected as a member of the new Legislation Assembly (MLA) in 1998. He has been returned as an MLA in all successive elections since. He is now Sinn Féin's policing Board since 2011.

He lives in Belfast with his wife Margaret. Between them they have seven children.
