Richard Pigott
Richard Pigott (1835 - Madrid, 1 March 1889) was an Irish journalist, best known for selling the Pigott forgeries.
==Journalist==
Pigott was born in Ratoath, County Meath. As a young man he supported Irish nationalism and worked on the ''Nation'' and the ''Tablet'' before acting as manager of ''The Irishman'', a newspaper founded by Denis Holland. James O'Connor later claimed Pigott embezzled funds from the paper (Holland, who had no business sense, left its affairs to Pigott) and covered his tracks by not keeping written records. Pigott also worked for the Land League, departing in 1883 after accusing its treasurer, Mr Fagan, of being unable to account for £100,000 of its funds, and for keeping inadequate records. Nothing was done about his accusation, which was publicised in the newspapers, and he turned against the League, which was allied to several Irish nationalist groups including the Irish Parliamentary Party led by Charles Stewart Parnell.
