Why is the conflict between UK and Ireland not over as yet?
There is no conflict between the UK and Ireland. This is a common misconception. What is now known as the Republic of Ireland became independent from the UK in 1922, at which time Northern Ireland was created and remained as part of the United Kingdom. Not everyone was happy about that and there were some problems. From the late 1960s to the mid 1990s a terrorist campaign, often known as the Troubles, happened in Northern Ireland. This was not an open conflict and not between Ireland and the UK. It involved terrorist organisations, with some terrorist activity targetting the police in Northern Ireland and British army soldiers who were sent to Northern Ireland in 1969. The Irish and British governments have generally good relations, and working together and with others, they helped devise a peace process culminating in the deal known as the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 to deal with the problems in Northern Ireland. There is some limited terrorist activity, but it is extremely rare.
