Karen Bradley has a new name for Northern Ireland

Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Karen Bradley, talking on Morning Ireland today about her ill-advised words in the London parliament earlier in the week, referred to Nothern Ireland as a 'nation'.

Northern Ireland, its towns and cities have been called different names by different people at different times but is this the first time it has been called a 'nation'?

Ms Bradley has misspoken many times since her appointment as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.
