    Hi
    Is it possible to apply to an available place course on the CAO site if you have already applied to other courses and are waiting to hear about an offer?

    From CAO website:

    If any places remain unfilled in particular courses after all offers have been made and the waiting lists of applicants meeting minimum entry requirements have been exhausted, such vacancies will be advertised.

    Where there are Available Places/Vacant Places in specific courses, HEIs will advertise these on the CAO website. Before making an “Available Place/Vacant Place” application, those matching the description “Restricted Categories of Applicant” on Page 3 of the CAO handbook should first consult with the Admissions Office of the HEI concerned.

    Persons who have not applied already may make an Available Place application on payment of a fee of €45.00.

    Persons who have applied already (whether placed or not) may apply for an Available Place on-line without payment of a further fee (when available).

    Applicants for Available Places/Vacant Places must meet the normal minimum entry requirements for the course(s) in question. Previously published points in an earlier round of offers should not be taken as an indication of the points required for entry to Available Places/Vacant Places.

    Mature applicants and applicants who have qualifications other than 1985-2007 Irish Leaving Cert and/or 2000-2007 FETAC Level 5/6 are categorised as Non-Standard Applicants. Such applicants must contact the appropriate HEI before completing an application.

    So your best bet is to ring up the colleges and see what they say.
