Northern Ireland has never been occupied. This is a key-phrase used by extremist Irish Republicans who consider it to be occupied.

It is a part of the United Kingdom of its own free will, and a referendum held in the 1970s combined with frequent surveying to this day confirm its citizens' wish to remain a part of the UK.

It actually has more right than England, Scotland or Wales to leave the UK (due to the Belfast Agreement).

No. The Roman Empire got as far as Britain, Ireland's neighbouring island, but never reached Ireland.
