Arthur Moore (Tralee MP)

Arthur Moore (1765 6 January 1846)[1] was an Irish lawyer and politician.

Moore was the second son of Lewis and Margaret Moore of Prospect, Queen's County. He was educated at the Royal School, Armagh, at Trinity College, Dublin, and the Middle Temple. He was called to the bar in Ireland in 1788, and became a Kings Counsel in 1798.[2]

In 1798 he was elected to the House of Commons of Ireland for the borough of Tralee.[3] An opponent of the Act of Union, he was one the members co-opted to sit in the 1st Parliament of the United Kingdom. He was slow to take his seat in westminster, but did so by June 1801. He did not seek re-election in 1802.[2]
