After years of civil war, Ireland became a republic in 1921. At this time, Britain negotiated with Ireland to keep the six counties in the north-east of Ireland. These six counties now make up what is known as Northern Ireland or Ulster. The southern part of the island is the Republic of Ireland, or Eire.
Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, a constitutional monarchy. The devolved government includes an Executive and an Assembly who deal with autonomous issues.The executive is a diarchy headed by a First Minister and a Deputy First Minister.t is located in the northeast of the island of Ireland and is the only part of the UK with a â¦ land border (which is with the Republic of Ireland). It is made up of six of the 32 historical counties of Ireland: Antrim, Londonderry, Down, Armagh, Fermanagh and Tyrone.
