What is the source of conflict between Ireland and Northern Ireland?
There is no conflict between the north and the republic. Basically Ireland was under british rule and events in the years after the 1916 rising led to The British 'giving back' Ireland, ie creating a republic. Although, 6 counties in Ulster (out of 9) were kept under british rule, and are now Northern Ireland. Within northern Ireland there are nationalists, those who want the north to join the republic, and unionists, those who want to remain under british rule. Therefore the conflict is generally confined within the north..

How did immigrants contribute to the conflict between Catholics and protestants in northern Ireland?
There was a big conflict in Northern Ireland, the part of the island of Ireland which is still in the UK. It was about whether they should stay in the UK, or join up again with the rest of Ireland. The majority of Protestants belonged to the Unionist parties who want to stay with Britain but the Catholics were mostly members of the Nationalist parties whowant to join with the Republic of Ireland. They are no longer fighting, but there is still some tension between Nationalists and Unionists.
Why did Ireland give England 6 counties?
Ireland did not give six counties to England. Before 1921, all of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. When the Irish Free State was formed in 1921, the majority of the population in the six counties wanted to remain part of the United Kingdom. A minority of the population of the six counties wanted to join what is now the Republic of Ireland. The six counties became what is now known as Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is not part of England, but along with England, Scotland and Wales, it is part of the United Kingdom. England and the United Kingdom are not the same thing so don't get it mixed up.
