The parliaments of England and Scotland were merged in 1707 to form the United Kingdom. When Ireland was included in 1801, it became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until 1922 when the island of Ireland (except for six counties in the northeast of the island) became an independent country again.

Places are geographically unified when they're not separated by major obstacles, like mountain ranges or bodies of water. Places are politically unified when they are ruled by a single government. Hawaii is not geographically unified with the continental US, but they are politically unified as they share the same federal government. Northern Ireland and Ireland are geographically unified, the border is entirely artificial with no geographic features separating them, but they have different governments that do not intersect at any level. Therefore they are not politically unified.
Northern Ireland has never been part of Great Britain. Great Britain is the island with England, Wales and Scotland on it. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland. They are two separate island that have never been part of each other. What you are referring to is the United Kingdom, which is England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. A majority of people in the northern part of Ireland did not want to exit the United Kingdom in 1922. So there was a partition of the island creating what we now know as Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland stayed within the United Kingdom.
The British Act of Union in 1800 effectively dissolved the Irish Parliament, merging it with the Parliament of Great Britain. As a result, Ireland's representation was limited, and the predominantly Protestant ruling class dominated the political landscape, sidelining the Catholic majority. While it aimed to create a unified British state, it ultimately fueled discontent in Ireland, leading to increased calls for Irish self-governance and rights for the Catholic population.
Yes why shouldn't it be, it was unified up until 1921 when there were unionists in ireland.
