I beleive I read somewhere that sometime in the next 10 years (maybe less) that the Catholic population will actually be in the majority in NI. (sorry it was a Magazine not online so no link)
The current situation will remain while ever the majority of the people of Northern Ireland wish it, the republican position is that a referendum should include for the whole of Ireland and not just the Northern bit.
However, when the Catholics do have a majority (they are breeding faster then the proddies) then we will probably see a push for a referendum in the north. Which could make for some interesting times to say the least.
