Céad míle fáilte, a Chéad-Aire. If the Prime Minister, Ms Teresa May, is going to give her anything, could she ask for a Border poll, please? It is a referendum on our independence.
The First Minister and I are unique in this Chamber, in that we both voted in the recent Brexit referendum. Like her and her party colleagues, my colleagues in Sinn Féin and I campaigned for and voted for the North of Ireland to remain. I am inspired, as are many others, by the First Minister's passion, dedication and commitment to her nation, its people and the cause of retaining Scotland's place as a nation within the EU. I share that passion and dedication for seeing Ireland in her entirety retained within the EU.
Will the First Minister lay out some of the plans Scotland has in its demands for the Brexit negotiations?
