Robert McCallion (9 August 1979 – 7 April 2009) was an Irish Gaelic footballer. He played for Swinford and the senior and under-21 Mayo county teams.[1][4][5]
McCallion played for his local club Swinford and was part of their teams from the under-10 grade and upwards.[3] He was part of the Swinford minor team which won every match it played in 1997.[5] He won the Mayo Intermediate Football Championship with Swinford in 1999.[4]
McCallion's family included numerous members of the Garda Síochána, including a parent, brother, uncles and a cousin. He initially worked with Corrib Oil but joined the Gardaí on 7 February 2005.[1] He was killed while serving as a member of the Garda Síochána; initially injured in Letterkenny on 26 March 2009, he was brought to Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, where he died less than two weeks later. He was afforded a state funeral.[3][6] A memorial stone in his honour is located in Bernard McGlinchey Town Park in Letterkenny. Robert McCallion Memorial Park in Swinford, County Mayo, is named after him.[4][7] A number of Gaelic football matches have been played in his honour,[5][8][9][10] including one in 2016.[2]
