The main consequences were to create a very separate society in the North, which moved on closely in industry and foreign policy with Britain, while Southern Ireland went it's own way. The split caused a lot of resentment among northern Catholics and nationalists who felt they were forgotten about by their southern brethren, and who suffered discrimination at the hands of a predominantly unionist and Protestant government. It also led to the ressurection of the IRA, who have perpetrated many acts of violence in the North since then, as have their unionist counterparts. The main consequence of division has been to emphasise and build upon divisions and differences between southern and northern Ireland to such an extent that it is very difficult to see them ever being reunited again.

∙ 9y agoTo answer that in full would be a very extensive answer and would require delving back into Ireland's history for hundreds of years before partition. So in very simple terms it created Northern Ireland and what is now referred to as the Republic of Ireland. It started a civil war in Ireland, though it only lasted for about 11 months. It created a split in Irish politics which gave us the two main political parties that the Republic of Ireland has had since then, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.
The creation of Northern Ireland created problems within it which really erupted in the 1960s and frequently brought Ireland into international news headlines after that. From outside of Ireland there have been many misconceptions about it, like people thinking it was all over Ireland or that it was specifically about religion and that it was an all out war and other such misconceptions. To explain Northern Ireland and its problems would also require an extensive answer.
So the consequences of the partition of Ireland were many and complex, as this brief answer might give you an idea of. Some continue to this day. There were consequences in many ways, political, social, economical etc. You would really need to study it indepth and get different perspectives on it, as different people look on it in different ways. Irish history is like that.

Why is Great Britain involved in Northern Ireland?
There is no conflict between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.After Ireland was split into two countries (Northern Ireland & the Republic) most of the conflict was within Northern Ireland only. This was between the two communities and the conflict was over Irish Unification and Independence from Britain. It mostly involved terrorists on both sides, and the security forces trying to control the situation. This was not a war in the traditional sense, in that there was not continual fighting on the streets. Events could be weeks apart, and then just be one single shooting or a bomb.

Firstly, Northern Ireland uses the British Pound Sterlingwhilst the Republic of Ireland uses the Euro. 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. Of course, there are several more pieces of evidence of this partition, such as visible things like road signs looking different.
