The Common Application System 2025/2026
There are 17 post-primary schools participating in the Limerick Area post-primary schools’ Common Application System (CAS). This system is supported by participating post-primary schools, the Limerick Principals and Deputy Principals Association (LPDPA), feeder primary schools, the Department of Education and by Limerick Education Support Centre which provides the Common Application System with administrative support.
On January 9th 2025, a meeting of the LPDPA 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.
As a result of this extension, a new timetable was agreed as follows:
AMENDED DATES
- Monday 20th January 2025 at 12:30pm
- Amended closing date and time for receipt of CAS application forms.
- Tuesday 4th February
- Participating schools to post letter of offer.
- Wednesday 12th February
- Date by which parents/guardians must accept or refuse an offer
- Tuesday 25th February

Limerick Education Support Centre undertakes the administration for the Common Application System on behalf of the Limerick Principals & Deputy Principals’ Association.
