He was educated Our Lady's Bower, Athlone; Synge Street CBS, Dublin and University College Dublin (UCD).[2]
McHugh was a supporter of a minor Irish Republican political party Córas na Poblachta and a friend of Irish Republican Army leader Seamus O'Donovan. In 1939 McHugh was interned by the Irish Free State at the Curragh internment camp.[3]
He was elected to Seanad Éireann as an independent member in 1954 by the National University constituency.[4] He lost his seat at the 1957 election.[4]
In 1965 he became Professor of English at UCD and in 1966 he was appointed the first Professor of Anglo–Irish Literature and Drama.[2]
He wrote two plays, each produced at the Abbey Theatre: Trial at Green Street courthouse (1941), and Rossa (1945).[1]
