Students frustrated by CAO website traffic

CONOR MAHON spent more than three hours submitting his college courses through the CAO website this week, but he was one of the lucky ones.

Some of his classmates at Christian Brothers College (CBC) in Cork city were up until the early hours trying to get their choices accepted.

“I stayed at it from the minute I got home from school on Monday, because I thought that if it was that busy it would only be worse over the following days,” said Conor who lives in Cobh.
