Northern Ireland can never be part of Britain, as Britain is an island consisting of England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is on the completely separate island called Ireland. Northern Ireland cannot be broken off the rest of the island of Ireland and dragged over to Britain and made into one piece of land. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, which consists of itself and the three parts of Britain, which are England, Scotland and Wales. Whether they want to stay as part of the United Kingdom or not is for the people of Northern Ireland to decide, and them only (under terms of the Good Friday Agreement). Neither Great Britain nor the rest of Ireland has any say.
