The United Kingdom and Southern Ireland are independent sovereign nations. I respect the independence of the various nations that were part of Former Yugoslavia by having articles for each in separate pages. Putting Northern Ireland, where the majority wants to stay part of the UK, and Southern Ireland, where the majority wants to stay separate from the UK into the same article would be offensive to those who want Northern Ireland to remain in the UK.
