But the front row have NI descent i.e. parents etc they may not.

On Twitter and Facebook a little research does show, Niamh, that plenty of his supporters are from NI. Not every single one but a large proportion, pretending this isn't the case won't change things.

As for NI having a smaller population than Scotland, yet but C5 has a smaller audience than C4 so it's all relative.
