• Invited Stage 2 applications submitted between 1st August 2023 to the 31st March 2024 (inclusive) shall be considered at the June sitting of the SL Board (Cycle A).   

• Invited Stage 2 applications submitted between 1st April 2024 to the 31st July 2024 (inclusive) shall be considered at the November sitting of the SL Board (Cycle B).   

College Level Boards shall endeavour to complete Stage One shortlisting for a given application in a timely manner however, applications submitted with insufficient time before the end of a Cycle, may be deferred for consideration by the College Level Board to a subsequent Cycle.
