The British took control of all of Ireland... well, it depends how you interpret control, but certainly by the 16th century. Then in 1919 to 1921, the Irish fought a war of independence against the British, and effectively won, persuading Britain to offer them a treaty that would free all Ireland except for the six counties of Northern Ireland. Why they kept those six is arguable, either to save face or because that was where all the Protestant Unionists lived, depending on what you think of the British of the time. But the Irish accepted the treaty (sort of), and so the Republic of Ireland was formed in 1921.
So we took control over Northern Ireland along with the rest somewhere between the 12th and 16th centuries, but lost all the rest in 1921.
