The Olympics is not a FIFA competition as far as I am aware, which is how Barcelona won the right to withold Messi from the Argentinian squad (think they allowed him to go anyway). Merging the FAs is a no-go, if anything the Northern Irish FA will eventually merge with the Irish, which makes sense in regards to that's what happens with rugby, cricket and hockey.

Also I think people from Northern Ireland can compete for Ireland in the Olympics. See Wayne McCullough.
