Dear Mary, 

As I haven�t  heard back from you and today is the deadline for the Summer conferring, I have gone with 
option 1 below. Your submission is now with the Graduate Studies Office in the CORA workflow. I agreed 
to the Thesis deposit licence (attached here) on your behalf. 

If you have any questions on any of this, please get in touch. 

Best regards, 
Breeda

Dear Mary, 

Thanks for your e-mail. I�m sorry to hear that you have experienced issues with CORA this morning. It 
may be related to the browser you are using as we have noticed problems with Internet Explorer. 

I see on CORA that you have started your submission and all of the details you have listed in your email 
are on the form. I can do the submission on your behalf but I need to clarify which of the following you 
wish to happen 

1. Submit an abstract to CORA and decision to withhold form 
(http://booleweb.ucc.ie/documents/Decision_to_Withold.pdf)  to the Graduate Studies Office with your 
hard bound thesis. E-thesis is not archived on CORA. 
2. Submit an abstract and e-thesis to CORA. E-thesis is archived on CORA but online access is restricted 
to everyone for 3 years as per your embargo request in CORA. E-thesis files can be provided to us in the 
Library by memory stick, upload of files to dropbox or by ftp transfer. A Decision to Withhold form is not 
required by the Graduate Studies Office when you submit your thesis. 

If you can let me know which option you�d like to go with, I can make the submission in CORA if you are 
happy with that. 
Apologies again for the difficulties you have experienced with CORA. 

Best regards, 
Breeda
