[citation needed] Cody scored 6-7 of Dublin’s 8-7 total in the 1949 All Ireland final, won by a CIÉ club team who represented Dublin en masse, as the county board was in dispute with the Camogie Association.
[5] The report of the 1941 All Ireland final, her first, described her as "the most spectacular player on the field" despite the fact Dublin were beaten.
She did not play in 1945-6 because of a dispute which tore apart the Camogie Association but when her club broke with Dublin county board she played again in the 1947 final at the end of which she saw her would-be equaliser, which appeared to cross the line, disallowed in the fading light.
Cody scored three of Dublin’s eleven goals in the 1948 All Ireland final against Down and was the star again at centre field in 1950 and remained the play-maker as she won her sixth and seventh All Ireland medals in 1951 and 1952, at which stage her club-mate Sophie Brack had taken over goal scoring duties.
[6] She later went to live in Worthing, Sussex, England, and was awarded a medal for heroism when she helped rescue five people from a fire in a flat in April 1975.
