The official answer to this is 1949, but the separation was more of an evolution.
The land which makes up Ireland was partitioned on 3 May 1921. In 1922 the Irish Free State was made a dominion within the British Commonwealth, which came with a previously unrealized level of sovereignty. A new constitution in 1937 renamed the state as Ireland, and it began operating with increasing separation from the Commonwealth. In 1949 it became a completely sovereign nation, separate from both England and Wales.
The treaty was signed by the British Government and Irish envoys on December 6th 1921 but was only enacted when it was ratified by the Parliaments of both countries in line with the treaty and received Royal assent on 6th December 1922founding the Irish Free State. It was founded as an autonomous dominion similar to Canada within the British Empire. Northern Ireland exercised it's option to withdraw from the state. It put a new constitution in place in 1937 also changing the name to Eire or Ireland in English and declared itself a republic in 1949 withdrawing formally from the British Commonwealth.

What conrty holds southern Ireland?
Southern Ireland is often used incorrectly to refer to the Republic of Ireland and distinguish it from Northern Ireland, so southern Ireland is really just a geographical term, in the same way as you might have southern Canada or southern France or southern Argentina, or the southern part of any country you could mention. Even the term Republic of Ireland is not an official one. The proper name, according to the Irish constitution is Éire or Ireland. So, southern Ireland is in the country that is known as Ireland, which is on the island of Ireland, as is Northern Ireland.
When did Ireland become and cease being a colony?
If you mean when did Ireland become independent, it happened in 1922. It had become a part of the Untied Kingdom in 1801, though it was under British control prior to that. Depending on your historical viewpoint, that can be traced as far back as 1169. Part of Ireland, known as Northern Ireland is still governed as part of the United Kingdom, so it could be said that Ireland is still not totally independent.
