No, you really haven't 'won' Northern Ireland.
You have a large degree of control. But that control doesn't belong to the South, it belongs to the various factions in the North, many of whom align with the South. It also, to a pretty serious extent, still belongs to England- England still has full legislative and executive power over Northern Ireland.
