"the troubles" were in Nothern Ireland, not Ireland

Wasn't the question of just how distinct "northern ireland" may or may not be from "ireland" a large component of "the troubles"?
Most of it was confined to Northern Ireland, but there were several bombings in GB, at least one in Dublin, and one in Germany. Several IRA members were killed while planning an operation in Gibraltar.
