When did Ireland join the British Empire?

Answer 1

Never, it only became part of the UK. Britain and Ireland are two completely separate islands.

If you mean the UK then, as part of the Act of Union in 1801. If you meant just Northern Ireland, then in 1922 when Northern Ireland was created and what is now known as the Republic of Ireland came into existence. It is not part of the United Kingdom.

The island of Ireland has always been a part of the British Isles, which is a geographic term, not a political one.
