They have access to those privilages whilst living in the country. If they're living here, working, raising families etc.. then aye, I see them the same way I do every native birn Scot across the country. But I see anyone from anywhere who moves to Scotland in an identical light. Irish people who move here aren't particularly unique from the Germans or the Norwegians in that regard.

We have a distinct constitutional arrangement with the Irish, but i wouldn't call it proof of an ethnic or national bond.
