I mean...it's complicated.
There have been many years of bloodshed over this very issue.
The Republic of Ireland is NOT part of the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland is...every country within the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England) is in itself its own country with it's own parliament but basically is ran by England, but they are (kind of) able to make their own laws...basically like US states?
