Niamh O’Connor, an honours graduate of Trinity College Dublin, is a CORU-registered dietitian and freelance consultant nutritionist with over 30 years of experience spanning clinical nutrition & dietetics in teaching hospitals and private practice, national nutrition research, EU food legislation, corporate consultancy, media work, advocacy, student training and university lecturing.
