Cooney dismisses claims of GAA-GPA damage

GAA President Christy Cooney has dismissed suggestions the Association’s dispute resolution protocol with the GPA has been damaged by the Fermanagh football impasse.

Eleven players remain unavailable to manager John O’Neill after they withdrew their services last month.

The Fermanagh County Board then elected to reject recommendations made by the GAA and GPA to resolve the row. But Cooney denied it was a blow to the GAA and GPA’s recently-inked deal.
