I'll give it to you in basic form because this is a complicated issue. A long time ago, Ireland was more or less forced to become a part of the United Kingdom. While it remain under British rule, England encouraged people from England and Scotland to move to Ireland to boost the number of people living there that were loyal to the crown. Most of these people were Protestant and most Native Irish people were still Catholic. The majority of these new people (Protestants) lived in the Northern part of the country. When Ireland won its independence, the northern Protestants feared being a part of an independent Ireland because they would then be in the minority and feared they would be mistreated. Because of this, they protested Ireland's freedom and the solution that was decided upon by the English government was to grant the Northern portion of the country to remain part of the United Kingdom and allow freedom to the rest of the country.
