Most of Ireland isn't in the UK either. There is a proposal in the strategy wiki http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposal:Regional_Working_Groups that might be relevant here. My view is that we probably only need one UK entity with charitable status, but I suspect that each of the UK Celtic languages that has its own wiki should be able to support a regional working group.
