Drumgoole was also active in the Irish Trades Union Congress (ITUC), serving on its general council from 1931, and as its President in 1936/37. However, in 1945, he led the IUDWC out of the ITUC as a founder constituent of the Congress of Irish Unions, and served as the Chairman of Congress for six years. Drumgoole was an unsuccessful Labour Party candidate for Seanad Éireann at both the 1948 and 1951 elections. He retired in 1954, and died six years later. (en)
