Minister urges students to be patient with CAO system
01/02/2007 - 10:56:28Minister for Education Mary Hanafin has urged students to be patient with the college application system following problems with the CAO's website this week.
Thousands of students have been unable to make applications online due to the technical problems.
Ms Hanafin said today that she had been in touch with the CAO and was told it is legally unable to extend today's applications deadline.
She said she was sympathetic to the stress students are under, but urged them to be patient with the system.
The minister added that she had tested the CAO site herself this morning and it was working fine, but if students were still having problems, they could post their applications ahead of today's deadline.
