Ireland wants independence.
Nope.
Neither. There is peace in Ireland now. The troubles are largely over but would have been in Northern Ireland.

There has not been fighting between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. There was fighting between England (Britain or the United Kingdom) and the Irish when all of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. The treaty that ended that fighting created the Republic of Ireland in the south and Northern Ireland (still part of the United Kingdom) in the north. After that, the IRA (Irish Republican Army) used violent means to try to push the British forces out of Northern Ireland and reunite the entire island. However, the Republic of Ireland did not participate in that activity and did not fight the British in Northern Ireland.
There is not ongoing fighting in Ireland. This a complete misconception about Ireland. There was trouble in Northern Ireland, and though it lasted for many years, there were just isolated incidents, with days, weeks and even months between some and not an ongoing war with things happening every day or having battlefieds.
They're still fighting, if we're being honest.
Because Northern Ireland had a strong population of British People from the plantations and the people of the Republic Of Ireland now a days were the main people fighting for freedom for 800 years
Irish Republican Army(IRA)
Yes of course most of the fighting was in Northern Ireland with about only 9%(guess) in Ireland. The reason was religious and political sort of a clash.
Ireland is divided up into two countries; Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. The North is apart of the United Kingdom and therefore the fighting is about the Catholics/Nationalists wanting to be apart of the Republic of Ireland while Protestants/Unionists wanting to remain in the UK.
England forciblt entered Ireland 500 yrs before that. They had been fighting for independence all of that time and still do in the north. They weren't going to enter a Union willingly. They were fighting being forced into that union.
