Still there
Yes there are still British soldiers in Northern Ireland; but not as many as there used to be.
Ireland at this point was still British, so the currency was the Pound Sterling.
Ireland did not have its own government during the famine. It was still under British rule at that time.
Ireland was under British rule up to 1922. Northern Ireland was created at that time, and it is still under British Rule, while what is now called the Republic of Ireland is independent.
They feared the Irish Republican Army (IRA). When Northern Ireland was unjustfully declared British fights began to break out between the native Catholics and new-coming Protestants. The IRA protected Ireland. And still do.
The reasons there was terrorism in Ireland are long and complex and can be traced back through over 800 years of Irish history. In short, Ireland was under British rule and wanted independence and in 1922 most, though not all, of Ireland got independence. The part that remained under British still wanted independence and some there resorted to violence to achieve that and others there who wanted to stay under British rule also resorted to violence. Between 1969 and 1994 in particular, there was a lot of violence, but a peace process was started and the terrorism stopped and since the signing of what is known as the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, things have been much more peaceful.

There has not been fighting between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. There was fighting between England (Britain or the United Kingdom) and the Irish when all of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. The treaty that ended that fighting created the Republic of Ireland in the south and Northern Ireland (still part of the United Kingdom) in the north. After that, the IRA (Irish Republican Army) used violent means to try to push the British forces out of Northern Ireland and reunite the entire island. However, the Republic of Ireland did not participate in that activity and did not fight the British in Northern Ireland.
The British Army are no longer on the streets of Northern Ireland. Most regiments have left, with only a very small amount still remaining in barracks.
During World War 2 Ireland was neutral. In a strict legal sense Ireland was then still a dominion of the British Empire. However, relations between Ireland and Britain had been strained for many years. Irish citizens could serve in the British armed forces and about 38,554 did see serve.
The Brits are Protestant and the Irish are Catholic. The British formed the Anglican Church of England and especially when Cromwell invaded Ireland and attempted a genocide of the Catholic Irish, these religious differences caused problems that have lasted between the two. The British took all of the land of the Catholics in Ireland and gave it to Protestants, which you can still see today (its called Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK).
