CAO baled out over error but it’ll cost taxpayers €300,000

MAKING amends for the mistaken offer of extra places on a psychiatric nursing course by the Central Applications Office will cost the public about €300,000.

There was good news yesterday for the group of more than 20 students who were told on Tuesday they were offered their places at Letterkenny Institute of Technology in error, just a day after they registered.

After three days of discussions between the college and the North Western Health Board, they were offered their places again yesterday morning.
