In November 2017, the Workplace Relations Commission found that he had violated equality legislation by asking a candidate "Do you have children? How old are your children?” during a job interview; the WRC ordered the minister's department to pay €7,500 to the candidate.
He joined the Independent Alliance upon its inception in 2015. On 27 February 2016, he was re-elected as a TD for Waterford at the general election, receiving 8,306 first preference votes and was elected on the 8th count. After prolonged talks on government formation, Halligan voted for Enda Kenny as Taoiseach on 6 May 2016, allowing Kenny to become the first Leader of Fine Gael to be re-elected to the office of Taoiseach. He joined the government as part of the Independent Alliance, becoming a government deputy. As part of the deal between Fine Gael and the Alliance, he was appointed Minister of State for Training and Skills.
He was elected as a TD for the Waterford constituency at the 2011 general election, receiving 5,546 first preference votes (10.3%) and was elected on the 11th count.

On 15 December 2011, he helped launch a nationwide campaign against a proposed household charge being brought in as part of the 2012 Irish budget.
He was first elected to the Waterford City Council in 1999, for the Workers' Party of Ireland. At the 2004 local elections, he topped the poll in Waterford No. 3 electoral area. In February 2008, he resigned from the Workers' Party, when the party refused to drop its opposition to service charges, which Halligan supported. In 2009, as an Independent candidate, Halligan again topped the poll in his area. After the 2009 local elections, Halligan entered into a pact with Fine Gael and the Labour Party on Waterford City Council.
