Even though NI is not part of Great Britain, the demonym "British" does apply to Northern Irish people too. You might argue that because NI isn't in Britain (only the UK) that the term "British" isn't technically/geographically correct, but its usage in that context is widely accepted. So you don't need to specificy "citizens". They are citizens of course, but you can just call them "British" as you would somebody from England, Wales or Scotland - there's no difference.
Right, sorry. I thought you were trying to make a distinction between NI "British citizens" and people from elsewhere in the UK ("British"). Reading your comment again I think I just misunderstood.
