The people of Northern Ireland, being mostly Protestant, wish to remain loyal to the British Crown when Ireland gained its independence, as what we now refer to as Republic of Ireland is overwhelmingly Catholic.

The British Crown recognised this, and that is why the six counties still form part of UK. Unfortunately, we are now all subject to EU, so it makes scrap-all difference, now.
