I'd check with BC. Given it's effectively part of Cycling Ireland I think you will need a BC race licence and 'permission' to race in another Federation. Otherwise you could just enter on the day and take out an Irish day licence.
I'd still check with BC so give them a ring and tell them your plans. They may issue you with notification to present to the event organiser and Commissaires on the day.
Had a quck look. If it is an event run by the NICF then you should be covered. However, there may not be that many of them as most of the NICF merged with CI a few years back so check this out beforehand. Although NI is part of the UK, most events are run via Cycling Ireland of which Cycling Ulster is an affiliate organisation - a bit like SC and BC. Check out the link below. You could effectively be competing within the durisdiction of another UCI affiliated Federation.
"In Northern Ireland your British Cycling membership would enable you to enter events. However, should you wish to race in Southern Ireland, we would need to issue you with a Letter of Authority."

Scottish Youth A, B and Juniors raced at Tour of Mayo last year in the South. Nothing but glowing reports from everyone. You will need a letter from BC though as they say just like you would to race in any country outside UK.
