- Richard Moore (Irish lawyer)
Richard Moore (d 1858) was Attorney-General for Ireland during part of Lord John Russell's Whig Government 1846-1852, holding that office from 16 July 1846 to 21 December 1847. He was then appointed as a judge of the Irish Queen's Bench and remained a judge until his death.
Moore was one of the Special Commission judges appointed for the trial in which William Smith O'Brien was convicted of high treason for his part in the Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848 ("The Queen v O'Brien" (1849) 3 Cox C.C. 360). O'Brien's death sentence was commuted to one of transportation and he received an unconditional pardon in 1856, after which he returned to Ireland.
From 1840 until his death Moore lived in Rathfarnham, Dublin in a house which was then known as the "Hermitage" but which, from 1910 until 1935 was the site of St. Enda's School, a secondary school for boys founded by Padraic Pearse. The house and grounds have been owned by the State since 1968 and the house is now the Pearse Museum (Healy (2004) p 197.)
