Carrigan joined the Irish Volunteers in 1915 after the split from Redmonds National Volunteers. In January 1916, Carrigan and fellow IRB members from Glasgow travelled to Dublin along with members of Na Fianna and Cumann na mBan and formed the Scottish Division of the Irish Volunteers and were based at the home of Count Plunkett in Kimmage, County Dublin where they prepared for an insurrection against British rule in Ireland.

On Easter Monday, 24 April 1916, the overseas contingents including the Scottish Division and the North American-based Hibernian Rifles participated of the Easter Rising.

During an evacuation of the GPO Carrigan was shot and killed by British soldiers on Moore Street.

Carrigan was buried in St Paul's Cemetery, Glasnevin
