Yes. Northern Ireland is a different country. The currencies are different - well in fact everything is different.

Northern Ireland is part of the UK which is made up of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The state known today as the Republic of Ireland came into being when twenty-six of the counties of Ireland seceded from the United Kingdom (UK) in 1922. The remaining six counties remained within the UK as Northern Ireland.

The state has been known by a number of names. Following the 1918 General Election, nationalist MPs declared the "Irish Republic" in 1919 but full de facto independence was not achieved until 1922 when the "Irish Free State" was established. In 1937, the state was renamed to simply "Ireland". It has been commonly known as the "Republic of Ireland" since becoming a republic in 1949.

Yes the republic of Ireland is an independent country and the north is part of the United Kingdom,
The "why" is a little more complicated but boils down to the fact that when the Irish fought for independence from the UK there was a deal signed leaving the 6 northern counties with the UK, cue a bloodied history, not everyone agreed....

Yes because nowadays Northern Ireland is regarded as part of the UK because they conquered it and it remains part of the british colony. They even have the british currency- the sterling as a symbol that they are part of the United Kingdom. It has caused a lot of trouble in the north though and the violence of it all is still present today.


Neesa
Yes it is. They have different laws and a different currency.
