More about Niall
Hi. My name is Niall and I am Ireland’s Ombudsman for Children. I was appointed as Ombudsman by President Michael D Higgins on 17 February 2015.
My background is as a clinical psychologist and I’ve worked in the area of child protection for almost 20 years.
I live in Dublin with my wife and two daughters, and although as a passionate GAA supporter, I can appreciate the positives of being a Dub, I am a Donegal man through and through.
As Ombudsman for Children, I want to see an Ireland where all children and young people are actively heard and respected so that they experience safe, fulfilling and happy everyday lives.
