How long has Ireland been a civilization?
It's hard to say when "a civilization" happens.
There are many, many relics of ancient cultures scattered across the island.
The Céide Fields are 5,000 years old and show evidence of walled fields houses and graves.
Newgrange, that massive burial chamber in the Boyne valley, is dated to 3,200 BC (600 years before the Pyramids of Egypt)
The Poulnabrone Dolmen is a gravesite which has been dated to 3,800 BC
Mount Sandel is the site showing the signs of a collection of seven buildings which are dated back to 9,000 years ago.
All this human activity shows signs that a civilization of some sort was present, as one or two people could not have created them.... but this is not to say that the whole of Ireland was part of those civilisations - we just don't have the proof of that. However, it seems unlikely that an undertaking such as the whole series of passage tombs of the Boyne valley, and elsewhere could have been less than an all-island undertaking.

Why is north and south Ireland segrogated?
when the Anglo Irish treat was signed in 1920 six of the nine the nine ulster counties where exempted from the treaty due to the fact they had a unionist majority and they did not want to leave the union.
The reason they had a unionist majority was due to the fact that 1606 the plantion of ulster took place. King James I confiscated the land from all the Irish chieftains all of whom where catholic and used it to settle colonists mostly from England and Scotland. the scottish settlers where mostly Presbyterian and English Protestant's.
Prior to its conquest in the 1590s, ulster had been the most rebellious part of Ireland to the English invaison, a province existing largely outside English control.
