Born in Clonmel, he was educated at Rockwell College, County Tipperary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mr. William Quirke )〕 During the Irish War of Independence he served with the Tipperary Brigade of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) as an Intelligence Officer.〔Ambrose, Joe (2006), ''Dan Breen and the IRA.'' Cork, Mercier Press. pp.124–25〕 He became Commanding Officer of the Second Southern Division and was arrested and interned on Spike Island but escaped.〔 He opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty and fought with the Anti-Treaty IRA forces. During the Irish Civil War he issued a Proclamation that if any member of his Command was executed he would have an equivalent number of leading Free State citizens executed as a result. None were executed by the Government forces as a result.〔Andrews, C.S. (1979), ''Dublin Made Me.'' Cork, Mercier Press. p.291〕 At the 1923 general election he was an unsuccessful Sinn Féin candidate in the Tipperary constituency.
After the end of the Civil War, Quirke left Ireland and went to the United States, Canada and Mexico where he held a variety of different jobs including a ranchman, builders' labourer, lumberjack and cowpuncher. While in Los Angeles, California he married Clare Riordan in January 1928. The couple then returned to Ireland where Quirke joined the newly formed Fianna Fáil party.〔 He was one of seven successful Fianna Fáil candidates who secured election to Free State Seanad at the 1931 Seanad election, securing a nine-year term.〔O'Sullivan, Donal (1940), ''The Irish Free State and Its Senate.'' London, Faber and Faber. p. 278〕 He was a member of the Seanad until its abolition in 1936.
