Donegal gardaí have paid a touching tribute to their tragic colleague Robbie McCallion on the 10th anniversary of his death.

A second-half full of purpose and intensity ensured Donegal, minus talisman Michael Murphy, recovered from a three-point half-time deficit to defeat Mayo by the minimum in an entertaining challenge match in Swinford yesterday.

ON Monday the attention of the nation was focused on two funerals — that of Garda Robert McCallion, who was mown down in Donegal, and Roy Collins, the businessman shot in Limerick.

Thousands of people have packed the town of Swinford in Co. Mayo for the funeral of Garda Robert McCallion.

The funeral of Garda Robert McCallion, who died after being struck by a stolen car, will take place later today.
