He called economic growth in Scotland over the last decade as "rather anaemic" compared to that of Ireland. "So how does Scotland compete on global investment opportunities when faced with that challenge? If Scotland were a business it would be a small business and that’s to our advantage - we can focus, be agile and compete."
