The First Minister is welcome. It has been said that Prime Minister Theresa May will give Scotland anything it wants but independence in the Brexit negotiations. My concern is for the other jurisdiction on this island, which is the North. Some would like to think this will hasten Irish unification. I do not believe this is necessarily so, but my concern is that Scotland's goodies from Theresa May will be at the expense of Northern Ireland. Does the First Minister accept Ireland cannot accept a border along the Irish Sea between the UK mainland and this country?
