Will there be a time when Britain stops occupying Ireland, and do you think Ireland will unite under one banner if they do?

Britain continues to occupy six of the nine counties of the province of Ulster. The British, when partitioning Ireland under the threat of "immediate and terrible war", could not manage to include all nine counties into "Northern Ireland" because Britain realised this entity would have been ungovernable due to the large number of nationalists it would have contained.
The occupation and normalisation of the Six Counties has, unfortunately, been copperfastened by the Belfast Agreement (1998) and the subsequent capitulation and collaboration of the Provisional Movement (which includes a party calling itself "Sinn Fein" and the so-called "Provisional IRA").
Ireland will eventually be a sovereign, 32 County Republic. The British have not been able to snuff out the nationalist aspiration in nearly 850 years, and they never will. Little by little, it has moved toward its freedom. Little by little, it will achieve it.

Britain stopped occupying Ireland 80 years ago. Ulster is part of the UK by the wishes of the majority of Ulster people.

Do you support terrorism??

Kudos to the answers who have correctly pointed out the flawed basis of the question. A country's military does not "occupy" territory that belongs to that country.

It makes no more sense than asking when the US military will cease "occupying" Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
