There had been an eleven-year gap before the August 1949 Celtic Congress at Bangor, Wales where delegates included Sir Ifor Williams and Conor Maguire, Chief Justice of Ireland.
His sons Tom O'Higgins and Michael O'Higgins were also members of the Dáil, the former serving in government (and twice a candidate for President of Ireland) and as Chief Justice of Ireland from 1974-85.
