A member of Cork Corporation in 1884,[1] he was elected at the 1885 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the newly created Eastern division of County Cork.[2] Lane was re-elected unopposed in 1886, but did not stand again at the 1892 general election. He was a member of the Irish Parliamentary Party until 1891 when he sided with the Anti-Parnellite majority, joining the Irish National Federation.[3]
He was married to an American, Frances Mary Armstrong of Brooklyn, New York City.
