Kevin O'Higgins was born in County Laois and was educated at the Jesuit-run Clongowes Wood, at St. Patrick's Seminary at Maynooth, and at University College Dublin.
General Richard Mulcahy was less impressed, recalling that "O'Higgins' personal presence in the Adjutant-General's office at that time (July-August 1922) was the personal presence of a person who didn't understand what was going on".
On July 10, 1927, O'Higgins was assassinated at the age of 35 on the Booterstown Avenue side of Cross Avenue in Blackrock, County Dublin by three anti-Treaty members of the IRA, Timothy Coughlin, Bill Gannon and Archie Doyle, in revenge for his part in the executions of IRA men during the civil war.

En algunas de las proclamas dirigidas por O'Higgins a los soldados enemigos que aún resistían, dejó claramente establecida su posición antimonárquica.
Sin embargo, su afán por incrementar el desarrollo económico del país, lo impulsó a establecer relaciones comerciales con las principales monarquías europeas; las cartas enviadas a los reyes, escritas en un lenguaje equilibrado y cauteloso, quedaron para la posteridad como un testimonio de su carácter eminentemente pragmático.

Sent to Spain for a military career, he served in the Spanish army in the Napoleonic war, hut returned to Chile in July 1811, where his vigorous character and military experience enabled him by means of a series of coup dtats to place himself at the head of the nationalist government.
Though at first he labored patriotically to establish a stable administration, to promote education, and to organize the Chilean forces, his selfish arrogant spirit produced dissensions between himself and other patriots, and it was his rivalry with Bernardo OHiggins that led to the defeat of the nationalist forces at Rancagua in 1814.
In the expedition of 1817, led by Jos de San Martin and Bernardo OHiggins, which resulted in the liberation of Chile, Carrera had no share, owing to his hostility to the leaders, but he attempted to procure in the United States materials for a fresh enterprise of his own.
