Up to 450 new CAO offers will be issued on Thursday to students whose Leaving Cert results were upgraded following errors in the calculated grades process. The numbers of students who will secure a higher CAO preference this week represents about 7 per cent of the 6,100 Leaving Cert students whose results were upgraded on foot of coding errors discovered in the past fortnight. As many as 100 CAO offers alone will be for courses at Technological University Dublin. However there is reluctance within Government to go down this route on the basis that it risks reopening the CAO process. The spokeswoman said the department and the Minister had committed to a comprehensive review of the calculated grades process when the process was completed.
