Common Application System for entry to Post-Primary in the Limerick city area and environs

Limerick Area Post-Primary Schools Common Application System 2025/26

IMPORTANT NOTICE re EXTENSION OF CLOSING DATE

On January 9th 2025, a meeting of the Limerick Principals and Deputy Principals Association 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 so many schools have been closed this week as a result.

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

This deadline will be strictly enforced.

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

Applications presented to post-primary schools after the submission deadline will be accepted but will be marked “Late Application”.  Late applications will be presented for consideration to all the schools listed on the form at the end of the process when all the other applications have been processed. Please note that a number of schools will be full by this time so you are advised to submit the form on time.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Only one application form per child will be permitted on the system.
  • Responsibility for making an application rests with the parent(s)/guardian(s).
  • Responsibility for ensuring that the completed CAS form is received before the closing date & time rests with the parent(s)/guardian(s).
