Upon the 1916 death of Hubert de Burgh-Canning, 2nd Marquess of Clanricarde, the Marquess of Sligo also became Earl of Clanricarde.[3] In 1921 he attended the first meeting of the short-lived Senate of Southern Ireland.[4] In 1922 he was photographed by Walter Stoneman.[5]
In 1924 when visiting British Hong Kong, the Marquess of Sligo succeeded in getting a specimen of the South China giant salamander sent to London Zoo. The species was named Megalobatrachus sligoi in his honour; it is today called Andrias sligoi.[6] He died in 1935 in London.[7]
