In regards to Ireland, I want whatever ends up with less people dead, and a solution that allows everyone to move forward beyond the horrid status quo (corruption, poverty, sectarianism, lack of infrastructure, terrible and absent governance). I.e. a focus on flegs from meatheads on both sides is very much the wrong avenue to head down (sorry Americans: your great granddaddy coming from Ireland does not grant you authority).
I think ultimately the island should be unified, but it will clearly be a process that will take time (for one thing, absorbing the province will have a huge effect on the Republic, especially given its status as a money sink). The ulster Protestant community, as annoying as their representatives are, will need to have their concerns respected - the idea of Catholics "out breeding" the prods and then calling a referendum is not a particularly useful or desirable outcome.
As for Scottish independence, it strikes me a spectacularly pointless journey (akin to brexit, in fact) that will risk actual tangible things for the sake of a few measly symbols.
