".
The Irish presidency, viewed from a Scottish point of view, demonstrates very clearly why Scotland would be better off independent.
Ireland, a smaller country than Scotland, will be setting the agenda and leading the EU decision-making process, while Scotland does not even have a vote in the Council of Ministers.
Ireland will lead the process of welcoming ten new member states – many smaller than Scotland – into the EU. These new members will have full rights of participation including votes on Fisheries Policy, while Scotland is a mere observer.
I wish Ireland success in its presidency and look forward to the day when an independent Scotland takes its rightful place in the world – better off independent!"@en1
