Since they are citizens of England wouldn't they be citizens of Ireland being that it is still the UK?

Ireland isn't part of the UK. The northeastern part of it is. Ireland is a republic.
The part that's in the UK is called Northern Ireland. The other part is called Ireland, or the republic of Ireland. It is NOT called Southern Ireland.

Ireland is an independent state within the European Community.
Modern-day Ireland left the United Kingdom in 1922 with the creation of the Irish Free State.
Citizens of England are NOT citizens of Ireland (or vice versa)

That would be like saying that a Texan is the same as someone from California...they are totally different apart from both being Northern American so no, citizens of England are not the same as citizens of Ireland be it Northern Ireland (Ulster, which is part of the UK) or Southern Ireland (Eire, which is a republic and not part of the UK)

Not all of Ulster is part of the UK please get it right.
Only 6 counties of Ulster are still part of the UK the other 3 are part of the free 26 counties.
As for the Main question No English Citizens are not Irish Citizens there might be some who have moved to Ireland.

Ireland is an independant country. If you are referring to Ulster, well, Ulster if part of the United Kingdom, so in that sense they have the same rights as people in Scotland, Wales & England, just as people from any of the other countries I have mentioned have the same rights. The fact that you mentioned "Citizens of England" would appear to suggest you are not from these islands, either that or you are displaying a high degree of ignorance.

Most of Ireland is not the UK only a small part of the north. The rest of Ireland fought for and achieved independence in 1922.

no, people who live in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland are British citizens. (At the moment there's no official seperate citizenship for each constituent country)
The Republic of Ireland is a seperate entity altogether, and it's people are citizens of the Republic of Ireland.
but as both countries are in the E.U, you can live and work freely in both countries if you are a citizen of either one.

No! England is part of the United Kingdom. Ireland is a separate country and has different citizenship (passports etc)
