There's no real conflict between the native Irish in these areas. N Ireland is subject to the rule of England. The Republic of Ireland won it's independence from England in 1921. English control of Ireland was forcible and accomplished by invasion starting in 1167. There has been an 800 year struggle for freedom since then. The Republic is free but N Ireland was left under british rule as part of the treaty in 1921. Since then, the fighting and violence has been part of the N Irish continued struggle for independence. Their fight is really internal, between the native Irish (primarily catholics) and the "anglo irish" (all protestants) in N. Ireland.

∙ 10y agoThey are two different states/countries. The republic is an independent state (although, concerning its membership of the EU, some people people contest this fact. But, officially, it is an independent state), whereas the north is a part of the United Kingdom (along, with Wales, Scotland, etc.). The seperation (also known as partition) is similar to what happened with India and Pakistan when they too achieved independence from being a colony of Britain (but on a much smaller scale, obviously). It was a sort of long, slightly confusing process and there are many controversial issues and historical issues surrounding it (Plantations, famine, religious biggotry, Civil War, Rebellion, Martyrdom, the Commonwealth, Home Rule, politics, neutrality, The Troubles [terrorism from both sides], colonialism, etc.) and it can still be a sensitive topic in some parts of Ireland, to this day. Basically, most of the people in the Republic wanted to be indepent of Britain, and most people in the North didn't. There's a lot of bad blood, resentment, history and feudal stuff between both states (although it's pretty mellowed out at the moment). That's very, very general and simplified, though. =) Hope it helped anyway!
