Bernard received an allstar for his performances in 1979. In 1974 he was on the panel that won Dublin's first All-Ireland title since 1963, however after being injured playing against Offaly in the Leinster Championship, did not play in the All-Ireland semi-final or final.[2] He was on the all-Ireland senior football winning side for Dublin in 1976 against rivals Kerry by a scoreline of 3-8 to 0-10.
