In total 332 extra places have been confirmed in Cork
It brings the total number of extra college places across Ireland for the 2020/21 academic year to over 6,300.
The additional places have been brought in by the Minister for Further and Higher Education Simon Harris to alleviate the impact of the calculated grades used for this year's Leaving Cert, and the jump in CAO points as a result.
