An Cosán (Irish: [ənˠ ˈkɔsˠɑːn̪ˠ], "The Path") is an organisation based in Jobstown, Tallaght, which offers adult education and other services to women from disadvantaged areas,[1] and is Ireland's largest community education organisation.[2] It was founded by Katherine Zappone and Ann Louise Gilligan.

It currently supports over 1,000 families annually.[3] According to The Irish Times, An Cosán "was established by Ann Louise Gilligan and Katherine Zappone with the intention of bringing valuable community-based education to the Dublin suburb. In 2012 An Cosán attempted to track the progress of 1,500 past students and found 1,200 were employed.

Yes this is real. Irish politics overall is a joke.

Publish the text of the entire proceedings of each of their asylum applications if they are convicted.
Show the taxpayers what they are actually funding with the deductions from their wages and salaries.

Or are there some dark secrets in that particular process?

Don’t forget Bono’s role in all of this. Jamie Drummond; chief executive of his NGO on looking to capitalise on Africa’s spiralling population:

“It’s Demography’s destiny”

“We should be worried if we don’t make these investments”

“We will need their youthful energy to .......... do stuff”

Like form drill crews and duke it out in Smithfield plaza maybe? I’d imagine this sort of rhetoric was used back in the days of the slave trade

in other words unlike Minister Zappone, you are not willing to spend years working in and with the community, developing relationships, fighting for what you believe in, and putting yourself before the electorate as an independent candidate.

It’s just a pity the taxpayer will have to fund her with a huge obscene ministerial pension for the rest of her days.

trying to chance their arms, you can't get from Nigeria to Ireland without landing in another EU country first. As soon as they arrive on Irish soil they should be put onto a plane and back to their original port of entry to apply for asylum status.

Ah fook me pink.
I just knew it.
We are to blame for all those scam emails purporting to be my long lost relative.
We are to blame for the dodgy apartment rental scams, the purchasing goods to be shipped to Nigeria where the cheque turns out to be dodgy or the money transfer mysteriously never arrives.

As I've said before, Zappone is a dangerous politician. One who transplants this stuff from her homeland to a country where it has no relevance, but who also uses her position in Government to further her own personal agenda on matters like immigration, or the argument she tried to start over US pre-clearance because she doesn't like Donald Trump.

Were it not for Enda Kenny's ego (and his determination to become the only FG Taoiseach ever to get a second term.. by any means necessary!) she, Shane Ross and the others who he made deals with would never have had the opportunity to cause the damage they have.

As for this latest story and the criminals involved.. arrest them, try them and if convicted, send them all on a plane back home and put them on a watch-list to ensure they don't get back in. I see no reason why the Irish taxpayer should have to foot their undoubtedly short and lax prison sentences as well.

As we've seen elsewhere in Europe, it's time that those of us who don't buy into the liberal virtue-signalling and dangerous agendas they are trying to enact start making our voices heard... not just on forums like this or Twitter etc, but when the TD's start calling to the door at some point in the next few months.

I think immigration and the dangerous of letting anyone with a sob story in without checks or limits will become THE most important election issue in the next 5/10 years, and we need to start preparing for it now.

The only opinion that counts is the ballot box.
All evidence from the ballot box says that irish electors reject xenophobia , Racism and right wing bigoted rhetoric.
If you don't agree well test your own theory and run for election against Minister Zappone and let's see who gets the most votes.

The citizenship referendum was the ballot box which proves there is vast support among the Irish electorate for Immigration control.



If I had mainstream party behind me I would be a shoe in but without the support of a big party its very hard to get elected no matter what the issue is.



That's why we need to get behind Patriotic political parties like Irexit, The National Party and Identity Ireland.

You might have seen in the news yesterday the story about the large Nigerian money-laundering network operating in Ireland. It was the scope of the operation that surprised me.

A Nigerian national living in Ireland was the leader of the gang and he recruited over 100 fellow Nigerian nationals in Ireland to launder money which has been stolen in invoice redirection frauds from companies in Ireland and all around Europe. 15 homes in 5 counties across the country were raided by over 100 Gardai and high-priced items like Nissan X-Trail SUVs were removed from these premises. Gardaí have asked the banks in Ireland to close around 350 accounts suspected of being used in the fraud.
When describing the suspects in the case, the Garda Superintendent said that "Some of these people are working, some are on social welfare."

There are a number of questions to be asked when you read about the details of the case, for example, why were they no arrests made knowing that the Nigerian suspects who could easily abscond, and what is the situation with the Irish bank accounts of the non-nationals?

Watching the 6.1 RTE news yesterday, there was not one mention of the word "Nigerian/Nigeria"; they kept saying West African gang. I wonder if it is the same on the RTE website? I gave up on that site a long time ago because of their weird bias on news.
More information on the story can be found here.

There is a huge fear in the media to even mention the word Nigeria for fear of being called racist against Nigerians, it is fact that Nigeria is rife will fraud and corruption yet its the elephant in the room here in Ireland, the very same as with the knackers.
I honestly dont know why Ireland took in so many Nigerians, like why Nigeria? why not Brazilians, Argentinians, Russians?
Anti social behaviour is rife among the Nigerians and the Eastern Europeans especially hate them.
We have a homeless crisis in this country yet we take in people from a specific country on a whole other continent but we cant even manage to look after the people who are already here, makes no sense to me....

And Zappone definitely knows how to spend those (our) millions.
For the initial 40 out of the 200 young migrant men she is bringing in from Calais, the cost will be €11.5 million. There are estimates of €110 million of our money to be spent on the full 200 when they get here. The money will be spent on services and support for these young men, including legal and therapeutic interventions, accommodation, health, dental care, mental health services and other specialist support.

And don't forget when she said in a television interview in Calais that she would like to take all of them when talking about the migrants in the camps there. The only way to put an end to her ultra-liberal madness is to make sure she is not re-elected in the next election.
