Limerick City has a CAO style system for applications to schools. I truly wish this was rolled out nationally. It would save on so much admin work, stress and I wouldn't need 5 copies of my daughter's birth certificate

Why do we not have a CAO system for schools? I understand that some schools love to write in their reports that 350 kids applied for 28 places but what's the value in that when each of those kids' parents applied to 5 other schools? Ireland I love you but this is pure madness 🤯

Every parent I know going through this particular trauma, applies for several schools because they hear that every school will be over subscribed and they're terrified their kid won't get a place
