The troubles in Northern Ireland related to politics, not religion as is often portrayed. When it is, they mention Catholics and Protestants. There is now a power-sharing agreement between representatives of the unionist/loyalist community, mostly Protestant, and the nationalist/republican community, mostly Catholic.
Northern Ireland was another religious fight. This time it was between the Protestants and the Catholics.
Because not all of Ireland was free. 6 of the 32 counties were still under British rule, forming Northern Ireland.
Ireland is divided up into two countries; Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. The North is apart of the United Kingdom and therefore the fighting is about the Catholics/Nationalists wanting to be apart of the Republic of Ireland while Protestants/Unionists wanting to remain in the UK.
There has not been fighting between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. There was fighting between England (Britain or the United Kingdom) and the Irish when all of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. The treaty that ended that fighting created the Republic of Ireland in the south and Northern Ireland (still part of the United Kingdom) in the north. After that, the IRA (Irish Republican Army) used violent means to try to push the British forces out of Northern Ireland and reunite the entire island. However, the Republic of Ireland did not participate in that activity and did not fight the British in Northern Ireland.
The same reason religious conflicts arise anywhere: because religious groups fight over their differences no matter where they are.

Great Britain tried to take over Ireland and in stead they made a deal with Michael Collins that if Ireland gave them six counties in northern Ireland without a fight then they wouldn't try to take all of Ireland. Michael Collins agreed and some people think he shouldn't have agreed
Relations between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are very good. Its difficult to remember back when relationships would have been sour between the North and South - possibly before 1980's. Today both governments of Northern Ireland and the Republic work together to provide a better future for those in Nothern Ireland and the surrounding border counties located in the Republic. From funding community projects to the two police forces on both side of the border working with each other to fight crime.
Ireland did not fight in the Battle of the Boyne. The Battle took place in Ireland but was between the forces of King William of Orange, from the Netherlands and King James of England.
they would fight alone
The entire island was once known as just "Ireland" and was under British rule. In 1922, 26 of the 32 counties of Ireland fought from the Union to form its own country, as a result of the Irish War of Independence. This is now known as the "Republic of Ireland". The remaining 6 counties did not fight because the majority in these counties were unionist (i.e. were pro-British and wanted to still be part of Britain's rule) and this is now known as "Northern Ireland". Northern Ireland remains a part of the UK but is mostly self-governing. That's just a brief and general explaination.
