Pa "Fowler" McInerney (14 December 1893 – 15 January 1987) was an Irish hurler who played as a goalkeeper and full-back for the Clare and Dublin senior teams. Born in O'Callaghan's Mills, County Clare, McInerney first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-one when he first linked up with the Clare senior team, before later lining out with the Dublin team before returning to the Clare colours. He made his senior debut in the 1913 championship. McInerney went on to enjoy a twenty year inter-county career, and won two All-Ireland medals, two Munster medals, three Leinster medals and one National Hurling League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions. McInerney represented the Leinster inter-provincial team at various times throughout his career, winning one Railway Cup medal. At club level he won six championship medals, playing with O'Callaghan's Mills and Garda. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1933 championship. MicInerney was the fourth recipient of the All-Time All-Star Award in 1983, and was chosen at full-back on a special all-time Garda hurling team.
