we don't need the acquiesence of the the people of Northern Ireland. Surely its up to the people of the United KIngdom, who we invite in.

Yes, but NI is already in.
They are entitled to self determination, as are the peoples of Wales and Scotland (and England).

Only the Scots were consulted over whether they should leave or stay, not the whole UK.
