Realistically speaking, I'm not sure how many people in the Republic would even entertain the idea of joining with the North, let alone Scotland. Apart maybe from extreme nationalists, most people realise it would be nothing but trouble.
- CalRobert 10y agoIronically, Scotland joining might be less emotive. It's historically interesting that Scottish people displaced a lot of the native Irish centuries ago, yet I've never heard anti-Scottish sentiment here.
- cmrdporcupine 10y agoScoti was the name the Romans use for the Irish, and Scotland was settled by Irish tribes who displaced the original Brythonic (Pict) speaking inhabitants. So it goes both ways.
