Yes. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom so obviously no issue. Northern Ireland and Scottish banks issue there own Sterling Notes. This can cause some confusion but are ligitimate currency. Coins are the same.
The UK consists of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Bank of England is the sole issuing authority for banknotes in England and Wales. Scottish banknotes may be issued by the Bank of Scotland, the Royal Bank of Scotland and the Clydesdale Bank. Four Northern Ireland banks practice their right to issue banknotes, being the Bank of Ireland, the First Trust Bank, the Northern Bank and the Ulster Bank. The banknotes of all Northern Ireland and Scottish banks are backed by the Bank of England.
Scotland and England (along with Wales and Northern Ireland) share the same common currency, the Pound Sterling. The only difference is that some banks in Northern Ireland and Scotland are able to issue their own 'Scottish' and 'Northern Ireland' bank notes, but they all have exactly the same value as 'English' banknotes.
It is still a problem in Northern Ireland, but not to the extent that it was. There are more important and serious problems and issues for the GAA. In other parts of Ireland sectarianism is not really an issue.
There are two communities in Northern Ireland, those that want Northern Ireland to be part of the United Kingdom and those that want it to be part of a united Ireland. That issue dominates politics in Northern Ireland, instead of normal issues that is the case in other places. When Northern Ireland came into existence in 1922, those that want to stay within the United Kingdom have dominated government and discriminated against the other side of the community. Instead of treating all people equally, they favoured their own side. This continued for most of the time since then, causing many problems and resulting eventually in violence breaking out in the 1960s. This continued until the 1990s, when finally a power sharing government, giving both sides a say in the running of Northern Ireland. That is still the case now, but still the issues between the two communities cause problems between politicians, making the business of day to day politics slower to deal with ordinary issues, such as health, education, employment etc.
The Commerce Compromise addressed the conflict between Northern businessmen and Southern plantation owners over the issue of tariffs.

There are riots is Northern Ireland at the moment because their parliament decided not to fly the Union Jack constantly. It used to be flow constantly but they decided not to anymore are people think that they are trying to break away from the United Kingdom which is making them angry.
Because it was retained by the United Kingdom after the partitioning of Ireland. While the rest of Ireland is "the Repuiblic of Ireland", with own head of state, government and institutions, Northern Ireland is still part of the UK. This means Northern Ireland comes under the juristiction of the London based government and has no absolute power of self detirmation. Powers have been devolved to the Northern Ireland assembly so the people of the country can have more of a say in their own affairs. Northern Ireland also has members of the British Parliment, but nationalists (those who seek the unification of the whole of Ireland, seporate from the UK) wouldn't take a place there, as it would mean swearing allegence to the Queen, which would go against their beliefs. Some may aurge that the issue of Northern Ireland has been made less relavent through greater cross border cooperation between Northern and Southern Ireland, via both governments and the European Union. However there still are people on both sides who oppose either greater ties with the UK or greater ties with the ROI, so a devolved, power sharing executive (as is now) would seem to be the best current course of action.
Ulster is not united with Britain. You are making two common misconceptions here. First you are confusing Ulster and Northern Ireland. Ulster is an Irish province with 9 counties. 6 of those counties make up Northern Ireland, but the other 3 are not part of Northern Ireland. So Ulster and Northern Ireland are not the same thing. Second, you are confusing Britain with the United Kingdom. Britain is an island that has England, Scotland and Wales on it. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland, a separate island, so it is not part of Britain. The United Kingdom consists of the three parts of Britain and also Northern Ireland. So Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but not part of Britain. As to why Northern Ireland should stay part of the United Kingdom, which is what you intended by your question, it is a very complicated issue, with strong opinions on it, so strong that it has led to violence, as you may know. For now, under the principle of consent that was agreed by the political parties and people of Northern Ireland, as long as the majority of the people in Northern Ireland want it to stay part of the United Kingdom, it will continue to do so. So that is the reason.
The major issue between southern and northern states was the problem of slavery. The North had abolished it and the South wanted to keep it.
The Ireland team is made up from players from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (ROI). The first anthem sung is "Amhran na bhFiann" (The Soldiers' Song), the ROI national anthem. The second anthem is "Ireland's Call", which is supposed to represent all of the players together.
