Secondly, Northern Ireland is under the rule of the Monarch in England (currently Queen Elizabeth II) whilst the Republic has a president. Also, on maps there is a clear divide between both the Republic and Northern Ireland.

Which 2 religions have been involved in violence in Northern Ireland?
The answer you are looking for is Catholic and Protestant. However it would be wrong to categorise the violence in Northern Ireland as being down to religion. There are many factors, of which religion is just one. The two sides roughly divide by religion, but there are other things that divide them that have nothing to do with religion, and many of those that were involved in violence were obviously paying no heed to what their religion would have them do. Neither Catholicism or Protestantism support violence.
Is Northern Ireland still part of Great Britain?
Northern Ireland has never been part of Great Britain. Great Britain is an island consisting of Wales, England and Scotland. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland which is a completely separate island. Northern Ireland, along with England, Scotland and Wales, are together known as the United Kingdom, which is probably what you are referring to. So Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but not part of Great Britain.
What countries were considered enemies of Ireland?
Ireland's enemies were mainly the British. For many centuries, the British considered Ireland as part of their country. You could also say that Ireland considers itself its own enemy, considering the heated divide between Catholic and Protestant religions there.
Why is the Republic of Ireland not part of Great Britain?
Britain is an island and Ireland is a separate island, so naturally they cannot be part of each other. What you are referring to is the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. It was a part of the UK up until 1922, when they got their republic. British rule in Ireland goes back over 800 years. Some Irish rebelled against British rule over the centuries. I'm sure some wanted Ireland to remain a part of the UK. There where a lot of Irish heroes who fought and died for Britain in first world war, and wars before that. There were 7 Irish regiments that disbanded in 1922, due to the Republic being formed. These regiments carried a lot of battle honours, 4 of which where the, Royal Dublin fusiliers, the Leinster reg, the Munster and the Connaught Rangers. In Ireland the Royal Irish constabulary was the police force, in 1922 it ceased to function in the south. It remained the police force in Northern Ireland until it changed to the Royal ulster constabulary. I agree with the above however: The 'Irish Free State' was established in 1922 under the terms of the treaty agreed with the British Government and was effectively a 'dominion' of the UK and remained part of the Commonwealth - this did not have total support across Ireland as the Free State exclude the six counties of Northern Ireland. Support (or not) for the treaty was the primary cause of the Irish civil war. The Irish Free State became 'Ireland' when the constitution was approved in 1937 following the election of an 'anti-treaty' Government in 1932. Quite when the Free State become a Republic is open to some debate as not all ties with the UK were cut at the same time. However there is no doubt that by 1949 Ireland was a republic. The Republic, under the 1937 constitution, claim the six counties of Northern Ireland as its own until the ratification of the Belfast Agreement (also known as the Good Friday Agreement) in 1998 when in a referendum the constitution was amended to drop the claim.
