Scottish vs. IrishIreland and Scotland are two separate and distinct geographical regions with different historical and cultural backgrounds, and with separate governments.

Why does Northern Ireland Want to Remain part of the UK?
The majority of Catholics in Northern Ireland prefer union with the Republic because they are not descendants of British planters but descendants of the original inhabitants (Gaels). The Gaels did assimilate Scandinavians, Cambro-Normans as well as the Old English thus forming a Irish-speaking Catholic ethnic identity. This is closely related to perceptions among many Irish nationalists that control of the island of Ireland by England/Britain, in various forms since the 1100s, has been detrimental to the freedom and cultural expression of the Irish Catholic majority. For example, the Penal Laws of the 1700s prevented Catholics from engaging fully in civic life and from practising their religion. More recently, certainly up until 2007, nationalists in the North argued that it would economically beneficial for a united island economy, particularly as output per head was significantly higher in the Republic than in the North and indeed the UK on average. (It is of course unclear what impact the Republic's current (2008/2009) economic collapse will do to such sentiment.)

How did the conflict between Catholics and Protestants in Ireland affect the people living there?
It wasn't so much between Catholics and protestants as between Irish (who were mostly Catholic) and Englishmen (who were mostly protestant). The Irish objected to the English (and their descendants) living in their country and oppressing them, particularly as English law suppressed the Catholic faith, and the practice thereof. It made life particularly difficult for Irish Catholics for whom the practice of their faith was illegal. One of the unforeseen benefits was, that for the most part, the Catholic faith of the Irish was particularly strong, comparable to the oppressed Catholics in Poland. As the Catholics have gained ascendancy, they have started to lose their faith and become indistinguishable from other modern people.
