The people of Northern Ireland are all people born in Northern Ireland and having, at the time of their birth, at least one parent who is a British citizen, an Irish citizen or is otherwise entitled to reside in Northern Ireland without any restriction on their period of residence, under the Belfast Agreement. Under the agreement, people of Northern Ireland have the right to identify either as Irish or British, or both, and their entitlement to Irish citizenship and British citizenship is recognised by the Government of Ireland and the Government of the United Kingdom.

In Northern Ireland, national identity is complex and diverse. The question of national identity [4] was asked in the 2021 census with the three most common identities given being British, Irish and Northern Irish. Most people of Protestant background consider themselves British, while a majority of people of Catholic background are Irish. This has origins in the 17th-century Plantation of Ulster.

In the early 20th century, most Ulster Protestants and Catholics saw themselves as Irish, although Protestants tended to have a strong sense of Britishness also. [5] Following the Home Rule Crisis and Irish War of Independence, Protestants gradually began to abandon Irish identity, [5] as Irishness and Britishness came to be seen moreso as mutually exclusive. In 1968 – just before the onset of the Troubles – 39% of Protestants described themselves as British and 20% of Protestants described themselves as Irish, while 32% chose an Ulster identity. [6] By 1978, following the worst years of the conflict, there had been a large shift in identity amongst Protestants, with the majority (67%) now calling themselves British and only 8% calling themselves Irish. [6] [7] This shift has not been reversed. [7] Meanwhile, the majority of Catholics have continued to see themselves as Irish. [6]

From 1989, 'Northern Irish' began to be included as an identity choice in surveys, and its popularity has grown since then. [7] Some organizations have promoted 'Northern Irish' identity as a way of overcoming sectarian division. In a 1998 survey of students, this was one of the main reasons they gave for choosing that identity, along with a desire to appear 'neutral'. [8] However, surveys show that 'Northern Irish' identity tends to have different meanings for Catholics and Protestants. [8] Surveys also show that those choosing 'Northern Irish' alone regard their national identity as less important than those choosing British and Irish. [8]

In recent Northern Ireland censuses, respondents could choose more than one national identity. In 2021: [9]

Excepted matters are never expected to be considered for devolution. On all other matters, the Northern Ireland Executive together with the 90-member Northern Ireland Assembly may legislate and govern for Northern Ireland.
