The responsibility for managing access to third level places rests with the Central Applications Office (CAO) and the third level institutions generally.

The higher education institutions have delegated to the CAO the task of processing applications to their first year undergraduate courses. However, the participating institutions retain the function of making decisions on admissions.

The CAO is a private company limited by guarantee and my Department does not have any function in relation to its operational arrangements.
