Not to be controversial or anything, but I'd say they should be put on this list too, that's how I normally see it done. I dunno how many people would come here looking for it and not find it as a result, but just to be safe. Then again, it's your list.

Wouldn't putting them on this list be making a political statement rather than just listing subreddits by country? If the presence of a separatist or independence movement means I should separate subreddits, I'd need to put Scotland, Wales and Cornwall here too.

I don't think it should be done in a seperatist way, more like to help those who might look for it on this list. Northern Ireland and Belfast are part of the UK, but also part of the island of Ireland, on r/ireland there is often enough posts from and regarding northern ireland. Some people not 100% familiar with the situation might look for NI stuff under r/ireland and definitely some parts of the population up there would want it to be listed under r/ireland. Thirdly, on a very technical note Britain is the island of Britain, as opposed to the UK, so to call reddits about NI 'british' is technically incorrect. Mainly though, it would be a minor enough thing to list them here and might be of use to people, after all, it's not clear whether r/ireland refers to the country or the island. I would consider r/belfast and r/northernireland local reddits to r/ireland the same as r/dublin and r/cork, and to be fair, they should be local to r/unitedkingdom as well.

I would like to emphasise I'm not being a big nationalist here, I'm thinking in terms of accuracy and helpfulness.

Fair enough.
