I welcome the Scottish First Minister. One hundred years ago Ireland was continuing on its long road to independence following the 1916 Rising. I hope Scotland's journey to independence will not take 100 years. The nationalism espoused by Vladimir Putin, Marine Le Pen and Donald Trump is corrosive, but the civic nationalism espoused by the Scottish First Minister - fairness, progressive democracy and social justice - is positive. What can Ireland do to help Scotland to achieve its full potential and independence? How can we be of assistance to it?
