Marie Louise O'Donnell (Independent) | Oireachtas source

The Scottish First Minister is most welcome. It is even more glorious that the Scottish First Minister is a woman. I want to ask her a very practical question. When will she make the decision to ask the Scottish people to vote again on Scottish independence? We can be as independent as we like in our minds, but we must be practical about it because the British people voted to leave the European Union. Unfortunately, Scotland was part of that decision insofar as it voted against leaving the United Kingdom.When will the First Minister make the decision to ask the Scottish people to vote again for an independent Scotland, because that is the start? No better woman to do it and no better woman to lead it, but we would like to know when she feels might be the right time? What would stop her from, or alert her to, doing it?
