Doesn't appear to have been discussed on here before but reading up on the two Acts of Union 1707 that created Great Britain one of the things that caught my eye that I'd never heard about before was that both houses of the Irish Parliament sent a message celebrating the union saying 'May God put it in your royal heart to add greater strength and lustre to your crown, by a still more comprehensive Union'. What appears to be an invitation/appeal to introduce similar legislation in regard to Ireland was apparently ignored by London.
So how possible would it be for Ireland to be offered a similar, if somewhat watered down deal, to Scotlands? Does anyone know why the offer was politely ignored in our timeline? And how it might be able to work around the main obstacles?
