Seamus McIntyre was a dual player from Kenmare, County Kerry, born in 1971 and killed on duty as a Garda on 22 April 2001. He was an outstanding hurler for Kerry in the 1990s, facing sides such as Clare, Offaly, Tipperary, Kilkenny, Galway and Waterford, and won a Munster Junior Football Championship medal with the Kerry junior footballers in 1995. His father PJ was a Garda and a former Kerry hurler and footballer. He played with the Kenmare club and later with Gort in County Galway and Ballincollig in County Cork as his work with the Garda Síochána took him there. In 1997 he became the only person to captain a Garda College team to a Fitzgibbon Cup final, which they lost to UCC. He died with fellow Garda George Rice when their patrol car collided with a hackney while responding to an emergency call in Cork, and an annual hurling tournament between Garda teams is played in his name.
