Best Answer

Northern Ireland does not belong to England. The two of them, along with Scotland and Wales, form the United Kingdom. At present, the majority of people in Northern Ireland want to remain part of the United Kingdom. Until such time that that changes, it will remain part of the United Kingdom. England has no say in that.

Why did Ireland give England 6 counties?

Ireland did not give six counties to England. Before 1921, all of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. When the Irish Free State was formed in 1921, the majority of the population in the six counties wanted to remain part of the United Kingdom. A minority of the population of the six counties wanted to join what is now the Republic of Ireland. The six counties became what is now known as Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is not part of England, but along with England, Scotland and Wales, it is part of the United Kingdom. England and the United Kingdom are not the same thing so don't get it mixed up.

Is Ireland in Britain?

No. Ireland is a republic which gained its indenpendancy from the British in 1922. Britain, or Great Britain as it is sometimes called, is an island consisting of England, Scotland and Wales. Ireland is a separate island to the west of it. The island of Ireland is split into the Republic of Ireland (also known as Éire) and Northern Ireland.Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom (or to give it its full name: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). This is not the same as Britain, and even the name indicates this by saying "Great Britain and Northern Ireland". It clearly indicates that they are separate. So Northern Ireland and the rest of Ireland are not part of Britain. Britain ruled all of Ireland, but Ireland was never part of Britain, being a separate island.
