There's no real conflict between the native Irish in these areas. N Ireland is subject to the rule of England. The Republic of Ireland won it's independence from England in 1921. English control of Ireland was forcible and accomplished by invasion starting in 1167. There has been an 800 year struggle for freedom since then. The Republic is free but N Ireland was left under british rule as part of the treaty in 1921. Since then, the fighting and violence has been part of the N Irish continued struggle for independence. Their fight is really internal, between the native Irish (primarily catholics) and the "anglo irish" (all protestants) in N. Ireland.
