Northern Ireland is a part of Britain/United Kingdom. It is not 'controlled' by Britain any more than England, Scotland or Wales are.
In fact, it actually has more right to leave the United Kingdom than any of the other parts (due to the Belfast Agreement).

∙ 9y agoAll of Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801. In 1922 a treaty was signed where 26 counties of Ireland became independent and 6 counties stayed part of the United Kingdom. Those 6 counties are together called Northern Ireland and the 26 counties are known as the Republic of Ireland. So Northern Ireland only came into existence in 1922 and has been part of the United Kingdom for all of its existence.

Are people from Northern Ireland called Irish?
It all depends on your religion and political beliefs:Catholics - tend to be Nationalist/Republican - want Northern Ireland to join the Republic and become united - therefore they say they are Irish.Protestants - tend to be Unionist/Loyalist - want Northern Ireland to remain a part of the United Kingdom - therefore they say they are British.Technically, however, under the British Nationality Act of 1981, it states that all persons located in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are in fact British.Also, if you check up Northern Ireland on wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland ) under the Citizenship and Identity tab, the very first sentence reads "As part of the United Kingdom, people from Northern Ireland are British citizens"Im Irish !
