Sullivan was elected Repeal Association Member of Parliament (MP) for Kilkenny City at a by-election in 1847—held because John O'Connell, who had been elected for the seat at the 1847 general election, had opted to sit for Limerick City where he had also been elected. Becoming an Independent Irish candidate in 1852, and a Liberal in 1859, Sullivan held the seat until 1865, when he did not seek re-election.[2]
Sullivan was High Sheriff of County Kilkenny in 1870.[4][5]
