Yup.

Unless you are actually Irish why have a strong opinion on the subject?? What gives you the right to decide how another nations residents are to live?? For the record my Mum,raised an Ulster Protestant, would vote for a united Ireland but is very proud to be an Ulster lass.One thing she cannot understand is why so many Scots feel the need to stick their nose in where it doesnt concern them.Stick to your own contry....it needs you more.
That's a ridiculous opinion IMO...

For one the North of Ireland is currently part of the UK. As is Scotland. Therefore it's part of us.

Also, in the event of there being a united Ireland it would be a part of the European Union. As is the UK. As would an independent Scotland.

I want there to be a united Ireland. But unless the people of the north & south vote for that it shouldn't IMO happen.
