Fogarty first stood for election to Dáil Éireann at the 1937 general election in the Dublin County constituency, and was returned to the 9th Dáil. He was re-elected at the 1938 and 1943 elections and at the 1944 election.

After his death, the Dublin County by-election for his Dáil seat was held on 29 October 1947, and won by the Clann na Poblachta candidate Seán MacBride.
