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.
