Man how old are you?? I’m just joking but yeah, it’s its own country now. You might be thinking of Northern Ireland that’s part of the UK (and not part of the EU)
How long has it been separate? For some reason I thought the split was related to brexit, and I wasn’t sure if it was a full split or not. Like I said I’m kind of clueless about the details of this.
Ireland has been more or less independent for around a century. Since Northern Ireland has been a contentious issue at one point UK and Ireland decided that there’d be no border between Ireland (independent republic) and Northern Ireland (the UK part). Brexit brought new complications since Ireland is in the EU and UK, including Northern Ireland isn’t.
