He has been cited as chief organiser of the United Irish Movement in London, but downplayed this aspect fo his life in his later writings when the democracy movement had long been suppressed. He is believed to have joined the United Irishmen in 1793, shortly before his father Nicholas Lawless, a wool-merchant turned banker who converted from Catholicism to the Church of Ireland and became the first Lord Cloncurry, took charge of Lyons House.
