The main consequences were to create a very separate society in the North, which moved on closely in industry and foreign policy with Britain, while Southern Ireland went it's own way. The split caused a lot of resentment among northern Catholics and nationalists who felt they were forgotten about by their southern brethren, and who suffered discrimination at the hands of a predominantly unionist and Protestant government. It also led to the ressurection of the IRA, who have perpetrated many acts of violence in the North since then, as have their unionist counterparts. The main consequence of division has been to emphasise and build upon divisions and differences between southern and northern Ireland to such an extent that it is very difficult to see them ever being reunited again.

Why is Great Britain involved in Northern Ireland?

There is no conflict between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.After Ireland was split into two countries (Northern Ireland & the Republic) most of the conflict was within Northern Ireland only. This was between the two communities and the conflict was over Irish Unification and Independence from Britain. It mostly involved terrorists on both sides, and the security forces trying to control the situation. This was not a war in the traditional sense, in that there was not continual fighting on the streets. Events could be weeks apart, and then just be one single shooting or a bomb.

What is evidence of partition in Ireland today?

Firstly, Northern Ireland uses the British Pound Sterlingwhilst the Republic of Ireland uses the Euro. Secondly, Northern Ireland is under the rule of the Monarch in England (currently Queen Elizabeth II) whilst the Republic has a president. Also, on maps there is a clear divide between both the Republic and Northern Ireland. Of course, there are several more pieces of evidence of this partition, such as visible things like road signs looking different.
