Yes, the Republic of Ireland is still part of the EU, however most of the northern part of the island is still occupied by the British and is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain And Northern Ireland.

I see. Is that kind of a tense situation, or is it amicable?

I’m not entirely sure, both countries have people who want it reunited and others who want it to remain separate. Sometimes violence has been used to get that point across, more so in the previous decades.

It’s a very complicated situation and I’m not knowledgeable enough about it to have an opinion either way.
