"La meme assertion s'applique dans une certaine mesure a l'Ecosse; elle est tout a fait hors d mise pour L'Irlande."
Obviously it's either a strong backing of the same assertion or a rejection! My feeling is that it is the latter. Can anyone help!!
Thanking you in advance.

total rejection
the same assertion applies to some extent to Scotland but it is undoubtedly quite irrelevant/inopportune as far as Eire/Ulster is concerned
don't have the context so eire or ulster
i'll find others
une autre construction est possible avec inopportune
hope it helps a bit
