He was elected MP for Queen's County at a by-election in 1870 as a Liberal candidate, and won the seat again in 1874 as a Home Rule candidate. He then held the seat until he stood down in 1880.[2]

Dease was educated at Queen's University of Ireland where he achieved a Master of Arts. Throughout his life, he was also a Deputy Lieutenant, Justice of the Peace, Commissioner of National Education, and member of the senate at Royal University of Ireland.[3]
