Closing date extended for applications to Limerick post primary schools’ Common Application System

THE closing date has been extended for receipt of applications for the Limerick post primary schools’ Common Application System.

The Limerick Area post-primary schools’ Common Application System (CAS) is the process by which the transfer of sixth class primary school pupils to the participating post primary schools is managed. Limerick Education Support Centre provides administrative support for the CAS.

On January 9, 2025, a meeting of the Limerick principals and deputy principals from the 17 participating schools was convened virtually through Limerick Education Support Centre. At this meeting the closing date for receipt of applications was discussed in light of the adverse weather conditions and the fact that many schools have been closed as a result.

It was unanimously agreed to extend the closing date for receipt of CAS applications for 2025/2026 to Monday, January 20, 2025 at 12:30pm.

As a result of this extension, a new timetable was agreed as follows:

Monday, January 20, at 12:30pm - Amended closing date and time for receipt of CAS application forms.

Tuesday, February 4 - Participating schools to post letter of offer.

Wednesday, February 12 - Date by which parents/guardians must accept or refuse an offer.

Tuesday, February 25 - Common Registration Night – (Please note this date is unchanged)
