He was born on 2 January 1902, the only son and fourth among five children of Hugh Cogan, a farmer, of Moone, County Kildare, and Katherine Cogan (née Nolan) of Tullow, County Carlow. The family lived at Ballykilduff near Tullow. He was educated at Ballyconnell national school, County Wicklow, and joined the Garda Síochána in the mid-1920s, retiring in 1928 to take over the Ballykilduff farm.[1]
At the 1943 general election he was elected as a Clann na Talmhan TD for Wicklow and he was re-elected at the 1944 general election. He was deputy leader of the party for a time but left Clann na Talmhan in 1946 owing to his disagreement with its vociferous radical element.[1] At the 1948 and 1951 general elections, he was again elected as an independent TD.[3]
