View answerThe Central Applications Office is a private company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. Its membership is representative of the higher education sector. It is funded entirely by application fees and there is no State support from my Department.
The methodology for determining first year admission is a matter for the Central Applications Office and my Department has no role in this.
