DISCUSSION POINTS:

What is the political hierarchy for the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland and how do their islands work? How do we deal with England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland? Wikipedia says it best: “The administrative geography of the United Kingdom is complex, multi-layered and non-uniform. “
