A supporter of the French Revolution and the United Irishmen, in 1798 he led insurgents under Joseph Holt in the Battle of Ballyellis, County Wexford, in an engagement in which they almost annihilated a detachment of the British Fencibles (the Ancient Britons). Though wounded, he managed to escape arrest.
After being suspended from his sacerdotal functions by the Catholic Church hierarchy because his involvement, Taaffe became a Protestant, converting to the Church of Ireland. He scraped a living as a tutor and pamphleteer. He edited a patriotic newspaper, The Shamroc, and his pamphlets against the proposed Act of Union, abolishing the Irish Parliament, saw him arrested for seditious libel in 1799.
In 1806, Taaffe was a founder member and first secretary of the Gaelic Society of Dublin, established to research and revive traditions of Irish literature. Between 1809 and 1811 he published four volumes of An Impartial History of Ireland, in which he represents Jonathan Swift as defender of liberty.
