In 1921, as a result of the Irish War of Independence.Ireland was given independence from Britain, but 6 counties in the north-east exercised their right to opt out of the newly created Irish Free State, rejoining Britain and becoming Northern Ireland.The two entities now occupying the island are Ireland(also called the Republic of Ireland) and Northern Ireland, a part of the United Kingdom.
The Republic of Ireland has one main government. There are councils around the country, but they don't have the powers the government has. The island of Ireland is split into the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is separate and has its own government.
The island of Ireland is shared between the Republic of Ireland and six counties in the northeast of the island which is referred to as Northern Ireland and is part of the United Kingdom.
The Republic of Ireland (Eire) occupies most of the island of Ireland. The island has 32 counties split in to 4 Provinces; There are x6 counties which make up the province of Ulster (since 1922) which is referred to as Northern Ireland.

Ireland was split into Northern Ireland, taking up 6 counties, and the Republic of Ireland, taking up the remaining 26
Northern Ireland was formed at the same time as what is now known as the Republic of Ireland. Initially it was the Irish Free State. Prior to this, Ireland was a single entity. In 1922 they became separate. The Republic of Ireland didn't officially become a republic until 1948. That had no impact on Northern Ireland, as it was already in existence by then.
Ireland is an Island split into two parts. The Northern part is called Northern Ireland and is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The rest, called Eire, or sometimes Ireland, is a separate sovereign state. (Until the early 20th Century, all of Ireland used to be part of the UK.)

They did not split as in the suceeding of the South in the Civil War...rather, the Republic of Ireland gained their independence, while Northern Ireland remains under British rule. There is a big movement to reunite all of Ireland to being the Republic together...but that is potentially a ways down the road
Ireland is split into four provinces (originally 5, thousands of years ago). Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connacht. Each Province is sub divided into counties. There are 32 counties in Ireland. 9 of the 11 counties in Ulster are currently under indirect British rule. The remaining 26 counties form the Republic of Ireland. The occupied six counties of Ulster are also erroneously referred to as "The North", Northern Ireland" & "Ulster".
Northern Island is part of and ruled by Great Britain. Unlike the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland resisted independence and chose to join with Britain as one country and split in dissent with Ireland over accepting Britainâ??s peace terms following the Irish revolution.
