Niall's journey began as a child in Dublin, born into the restaurant industry with his father’s famous Restaurant “Georges Bistro”, and further enriched by training in London and Paris. From a very early age, growing up in Dublin by the sea, Niall spent his time forging on the beach, diving, sailing, surfing, or generally immersing himself in saltwater. This lifelong connection has deeply influenced his passion for seafood.

Niall is the creative force behind Klaw, the super popular seafood restaurant with multiple locations in Dublin, known for its fresh produce and welcoming atmosphere. Each Klaw establishment offers a unique seafood dining experience, drawing in a diverse crowd of seafood lovers. Niall also established the multi-award-winning The Seafood Café in Temple Bar, a vibrant spot celebrated for its high-quality Irish fish, underlining his commitment to making quality seafood accessible and affordable.

Recently Niall pivoted from restaurant supply to focus more on the public, aligning with his 'trawler to table' philosophy. This shift is part of his broader goal to bring high-quality seafood directly to consumers. His latest ventures include the innovative Urban Monger concept, focusing on the freshest seafood from the trawler to the table, and an Urban Smokehouse, where traditional smoking techniques enhance a variety of seafood, showcasing his commitment to culinary innovation and sustainability.

Additionally, Niall created Salty Buoy food truck, a dynamic and adaptable venture that pops up in different locations, offers private catering, and operates at various gigs. Salty Buoy is an extension of Niall's innovative spirit, bringing exceptional seafood experiences directly to the public. 

A regular on Irish TV, Niall promotes Irish and sustainable seafood dishes that are simple for home cooking, demystifying seafood preparation and encouraging exploration of these healthy, flavourful options.

Niall's extensive training, entrepreneurial spirit, and deep passion for seafood have not only shaped his successful career but continue to influence and inspire the wider food industry, ensuring a sustainable, flavourful, and exciting future for seafood cuisine in Ireland and beyond.
