Kirwan wird 1971 als Tochter eines Versicherungsagenten und einer Lehrerin in Churchtown, einem Stadtteil im Süden Dublins, geboren.
1991 feiert Kirwan ihren Durchbruch als Bernadette Kennedy in der Serie "A Time to Dance". Weitere Rollen in verschiedenen Serien und Fernsehfilmen folgten. 1993 wurde sie für die Rolle der Phoebe Bamford in der Serie „Goodnight Sweetheart“ engagiert, ehe man ihr 1996 anbot, in der Serie "Ballykissangel" mitzuspielen. Hier spielte sie die Kneipenbesitzerin Assumpta Fitzgerald.
Außerdem spielte sie in „Italienische Verführung – School for Seduction“ mit. Aktuell spielt sie Claire Maxwell in „55 Degrees North“, einer britischen Krimiserie.
Bekannt ist auch Kirwans Duett mit Dustin the Turkey, einer sprechenden Puppe im Kinderprogramm von Radio Telefís Éireann. Sie sang mit ihm „Fairytale of New York“.
Ihre im September 2005 gestartete Werbekampagne für das britische Einzelhandelsunternehmen Marks & Spencer ist ein großer Erfolg und hat der Firma massive Umsatzsteigerungen beschert.
Während der Dreharbeiten zu Ballykissangel verlobte sich Kirwan mit Stephen Tompkinson, an dessen Seite sie in der Serie spielte. Jedoch wurde die Verlobung später wieder gelöst. Mittlerweile ist Kirwan mit dem Schauspieler Rupert Penry-Jones liiert. Die beiden haben zwei Kinder."
