He became a member of the Douglas Town Council in 1972 and remained in that post until he stood for the Keys in 1976 in Douglas East. He remained a member of the Keys (MHK) until his elevation to the Legislative Council in 1995.[1] He raised concerns about immigration and the settlement of asylum seekers in the Isle of Man in 2002.[5]
In 2005 he sought re-election to the council for a third term,[6] but after three rounds of unsuccessful voting[7] the House of Keys elevated HonAlex Downie instead. Delaney then fought the ensuing by-election in Douglas West and became a MHK again. He became the Member for Social Security in August 2005.[8] He is also a former Minister in Sir Miles Walker's Council.
Delaney stood down from the House of Keys in October 2006 due to ill health.[9]
