Why is the Northern Ireland flag not part of the Union Jack?

It is part of the Union flag, which is the proper name for the flag, not the Union Jack. It is the red X that is on the flag. The red X on a white background is St. Patrick's Cross, which is used for Northern Ireland. That appears prominently on the Union flag. It is possible you are thinking of another flag, like the Ulster flag, that is not actually the flag for Northern Ireland.
