There is no conflict between Northern Ireland and the UK. Northern Ireland is part of the UK. However, a minority of the population of Northern Ireland want to leave the UK and become a part of the Republic of Ireland. There has been a referendum about this in the past and the majority of the Northern Ireland people want to remain in the UK. Democracy won the day.

'England' has nothing to do with Northern Ireland. The full name of the country is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Therefore, Northern Ireland is an integral part of the United Kingdom along with England, Scotland and Wales. The people of Northern Ireland held a referendum to decide if they wanted to remain part of the United Kingdom or become part of the Republic of Ireland. They voted overwhelmingly to remain part of the UK. A minority of people still want to be part of the Republic of Ireland but as a democracy, the will of the majority prevails. Incidentally, Northern Ireland has its own Parliament (Stormont) which is able to legislate on most things except for foreign, monetary and military policy.
the protestant majority wanted to remain a part of great britian, while the catholics minority wanted to unify with the republic of Ireland.
