    yeah its way too late for most/all CAO entry pathway institutions (UNi, IT ect)
    I think Jan/Feb is the closing date?

    You could ring the Mature Student Office of the colleges you are interested in applying to. They are a great source of information for Prospective Mature Students.

    UCC has an Open Day coming up in October and an Information Evening for Prospective Mature Students in November.
    http://www.ucc.ie/en/mature/prospective/importantdates/
    These events are always worth attending, you can get a feel for the campus and can attend talks on the courses you might be interested in. You might also get a chance to speak to lecturers or to other Mature Students. The information Evening really details the CAO Application and there's reps and lots of info from the different Depts.

    Have a look at this sticky http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055676871

    If you go onto the CAO website it gives you a list of the courses each institution offers. Something might catch your eye.
