Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) has confirmed that the application from the first named student is being reviewed and SUSI will notify the student directly of the outcome as soon as possible.

I understand that the second named student appealed the original decision made on his application to the appeals officer in SUSI on 4th February 2013. The case is being reviewed by the appeals officer and a decision will issue within 30 days.
