O'Keeffe's family had been expelled from their property at Glanville during the 1650s, eventually settling at Drumkeene, County Limerick, where he was born. His parents were Honor O'Daly and "Dionysii" O'Keeffe, and he was the youngest of six boys. The family descendants were in Templeglantine until the 1950s' and claimed The Fermoy O'Keeffe Chieftains connection right up to the end.
He was listed as an Irish exile in Brittany in 1710, when he was nominated for the rectorship of St. Similien's parish, Nantes. He stayed there for ten years before returning to Ireland on his appointment as bishop of the Diocese of Limerick by papal brief on 7 March [O.S. 25 February] 1720, succeeding John O'Molony. In common with all Irish bishops of his day he was nominated by James III.
The O'Keeffe Chalice, dating from about 1735, was made for him.[1] He was succeeded by Robert Lacy.
