James Carroll grew up with his two sisters in Monasterboice, County Louth. He studied at University College Dublin and completed his studies in 2007. During his time at UCD, he was 2005-2006 President of UCD Students' Union.

In November 2009, Carroll moved for the late Senator Tony Kett in Seanad Éireann after the 23th and occupied the vacant seat new there. A by-election had become not necessary to do that because the other parties had waived their own candidates. Carroll thus retired from the Louth County Council, in which he had previously been elected in June 2009. At the time of his appointment as senator, he was the youngest member of the Irish Parliament.
