In the GAA annual Congress in 2005, Nickey Brennan was voted as the new GAA President, only 17 votes ahead of Cooney.[2] Brennan's election was seen as a surprise by some and Cooney thought he had gathered enough support among delegates to secure the position.[2] Brennan said that he hoped Cooney would put his name forward again in the future.[2] At the time Cooney was president of his local club Youghal.[2] Cooney ran again for president three years later and was elected with over half the votes at the 2008 Congress, beating Liam O'Neill and Sean Fogarty.[3] In 2011 O'Neill was nominated unopposed to succeed to the post, and did so as Cooney stepped down in April 2012. Earlier, in the mid-1990s, Cooney was one of the government appointed members of the Independent Radio and Television Commission (IRTC) which at the time licensed and regulated Independent broadcasting in Ireland. ControversyCooney has been widely criticised for his stance on pitch invasions at Croke Park.[4][5] Due to an anti pitch invasion stance held by Cooney and other GAA officials, the GAA installed a large fence encompassing perspex screening in front of the Hill 16 end in an effort to deter pitch invasions.[6] In numerous interviews, Cooney has given the Hillsborough disaster as an example why this fence is needed, yet numerous columnists have pointed out the irony that this fence may actually lead to a Hillsborough type tragedy at Croke Park.[7] A campaign to get Dublin city council to remove the barrier has begun [8] FÁS controversyCooney faced the public accounts committee regarding €643,000 spent on foreign travel by FÁS executives as well as spending irregularities identified in FÁS's €9m annual advertising budget.[9] References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/national-news/croke-park-used-as-jobs-fair-venue-to-save-lives-of-children-1564564.html |title=Croke Park used as jobs fair venue 'to save lives of children' |date=5 December 2008 |accessdate=12 December 2008 |work=Irish Independent |first=Michael |last=Brennan}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news |first=Declan |last=Bogue |title=New man for the big job |work=Gaelic Life |page=8 |date=10 April 2009 }} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Cooney to be next GAA President |url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2008/0412/gaa.html |work=RTÉ |date=12 April 2008 |accessdate=14 April 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080414005906/http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2008/0412/gaa.html |archivedate=14 April 2008 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite news| url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-football/croke-parks-fencing-scheme-the-height-of-ignorance-2297922.html | work=Irish Independent | first=Tommy | last=Conlon | title=Croke Park's fencing scheme the height of ignorance | date=15 August 2010}} 5. ^{{cite news| url=http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/gaa/down-star-benny-coulter-at-odds-with-gaa-president-christy-cooney-over-croke-park-fences-14914558.html }} 6. ^{{cite news| url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/weekend/2010/0814/1224276782534.html | work=The Irish Times | title=Off the fence and off the pitch | date=8 August 2010}} 7. ^http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/hill-16-fence-will-create-other-barriers-128275.html 8. ^http://anfearrua.com/db.asp?a=topicdisplay&tid=906396&xpos=175 9. ^{{cite news| url=http://www.independent.ie/national-news/incoming-gaa-president-faces-spending-quiz-1554678.html | work=Irish Independent | first=Michael | last=Brennan | title=Incoming GAA president faces spending quiz | date=27 November 2008}} External links
