All You Need To Know About CAO Change Of Mind
CAO Change of Mind facility closes on July 1st @ 5.15pm
The CAO Change of Mind facility is open until 5.15pm on Sunday, the 1st July, 2017 and gives applicants the opportunity to review their current choices, make changes if necessary and there is no charge for this facility.
Up to the deadline applicants can add, remove, or re-order course choices. Applicants can add any course to their list even if they did not include it in the application they submitted in February. The only exception to this are restricted entry courses which are clearly marked in the CAO handbook.
Applicants should also take this opportunity to revisit their Level 8 and Level 7/6 lists, and examine carefully both the courses they have applied for and the order in which they have been placed. CAO choices should be based on order of preference only and not on how students think they may have performed during the exams or indeed what they expect the cut-off points to be for the course they have chosen. That will not be known until Monday, August the 20th, the expected date for first round CAO offers to be issued. The golden rule is that courses must always be listed in order of preference.
In order to make changes to their course listing, applicants should log into their account on www.cao.ie using the 'my application' prompt. Here they will be asked for their CAO number, date of birth and password. Applicants can then enter their separate lists: Level 8 and Level 7/6. A short video guide on the change of mind process is available on www.cao.ie.

Ballyspillane Community and Family Resource Centre is putting on a series of meetings and talks to offer older members of the community a chance to meet people from organisations that will enhance their lives.

O’Sullivan chases National Rally glory in Clare on Sunday

It is hard to believe that it is four years since the Triton Showers-backed Motorsport Ireland National Rally Championship last visited Clare.
Between the pandemic and the new event rotation system, the last time the Liam Cleary Autoworld Clare Rally ran was in September 2019.
But it has been well worth the wait as organisers Clare Motor Club have attracted a stellar entry that has both strength and depth.
The Triton Showers National Rally Championship enters the home straight this weekend and all of the title protagonists will be in Ennis for the penultimate round of the eight-round championship.
Leading the fray after six rounds are defending champions, Josh Moffett and Keith Moriarty.
The Hyundai i20 Rally2 crew have a 20-point advantage over Callum Devine and Noel O’Sullivan from Muckross.
However, the Derry/Kerry crew has won the last two rounds in Sligo and Meath and when dropped scores come into play, they have started one less round than Moffett and Moriarty which suggests, mathematically, the advantage is maybe with the Volkswagen Polo Gti crew.
But anything can happen in rallying and it looks certain that the championship will go to the wire at the Fastnet Rally in late October.
