He was a leading theoretician in the Marxist-Leninist Workers' Party of Ireland, previously 'Official' Sinn Féin. Harris was a fierce critic of 'Provisional' Sinn Féin, from which they had split, and became an opponent of Irish republicanism. For much of the Troubles, from the 1970s until the 1990s, Harris worked in Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) and was influential in shaping the current affairs output of Ireland's national broadcaster. Later he began writing for the Sunday Independent newspaper. In the 1990s, he left the Workers' Party and was a short-lived adviser to Fine Gael leader John Bruton, before Bruton became Taoiseach; then an adviser to the Ulster Unionist Party. In the 2000s he supported the Fianna Fáil-led government of Bertie Ahern. Ahern nominated him to Seanad Éireann in 2007, where he served until 2011. He also continued producing some documentary programmes for RTÉ. Harris was a columnist for the Sunday Independent until 2021. He was sacked after admitting running a fake Twitter account, which harassed journalists he believed were sympathetic to Irish nationalism and Sinn Féin. Harris is also involved in screenwriting work. He lectures at IADT Dún Laoghaire and teaches a screenwriting workshop.
