A visa is an authorization to enter the territory of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for a limited period.





If it states ';UNITED KINGDOM'; in the valid for column they'll be good to go to Northern Ireland, too. The visa however would not authorize to enter the territory of the Republic of Ireland although there are no border controls.

It seems reasonable that as NI is part of the United Kingdom, they could travel with you or independently within the UK. You might want to check with UK Border Agency http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk who should be able to clarify any restrictions covered by the visa.
Don't see why not as Northern Ireland is classed as part of the UK.
