Ireland is a separate republic, while Northern Ireland is part of Great Britain. The Republic of Ireland is predominantly Catholic, while in Northern Ireland the majority of the population is Protestant. The IRA-Irish Republican Army-continues to fight for the unification of Northern Ireland with the Republic.
