He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin (very unusually for a Roman Catholic at that time since the Catholic hierarchy opposed Catholic students being educated there), and was admitted to the Dublin Bar in 1856. The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin or more commonly Trinity College, Dublin was founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I, and is the only constituent college of the University of Dublin, Irelands oldest university. ...
In 1862 he emigrated to Victoria and was appointed a Crown Prosecutor in 1863. He succeeded to his father's baronetcy in 1877. In the same year he was elected, in absentia, to the House of Commons for County Clare, but did not take his seat. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

In 1878 O'Loghlen, a recognised leader of the Irish Catholic community in Victoria, was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly for West Melbourne. In 1880 he transferred to West Bourke, which he held until 1883. The Legislative Assembly, or lower house, is one of the two chambers of the parliament of Victoria in Australia. ...

O'Loghlen was a radical liberal in Victorian politics: he favoured breaking up the estates of the landowning class (who were mainly English and Scottish Protestants) to provide land for small farmers, and ending the power of the landowner-dominated Victorian Legislative Council. The Legislative Council, or upper house, is one of the two chambers of the Parliament of Victoria, Australia. ...
He also wanted government aid for Roman Catholic schools, but not if this meant government supervision of what they taught. He served as Attorney-General in the reforming ministry of Graham Berry from 1878 to 1880, and was a loyal supporter of Berry in his stuggles with the Council and the conservatives it represented. Sir Graham Berry Graham Berry (28 August 1822 - 25 January 1904), Australian colonial politician, was the 11th Premier of Victoria. ...
When Berry's third government resigned in July 1881, O'Loghlen succeeded him as leader of the liberal forces and became Premier - the second Irish Catholic to hold the position. His government was described as "unspectacular", and "a collection of party rebals, Catholics and opportunists." Much of the radical impetus of the Berry years had passed and O'Loghlen's government achieved little. In 1883 a scandal arose over the activities of Railways Minister Thomas Bent, who was accused of corruption. At the March 1883 election the liberals were defeated and O'Loghlen lost his seat. Sir Thomas Bent was the premier of the Australian state of Victoria from the 16th February 1904 to the 8th January 1909. ...
In 1888 O'Loghlen returned to politics as member for Belfast, which he held until 1889, when the seat was renamed Port Fairy, which he represented 1889 - 1894, and, again, from 1897 - 1900. He was Attorney-General again, albeit only for one year, in the Patterson government (1893 - 1894). Port Fairy is a coastal town in Victoria, Australia, located on the Princes Highway, 28 kilometres west of the Warrnambool, 290 kilometres west of Melbourne, in the Moyne Shire. ...
