ní = negetive copula or negates a verb in the present or future , or past of dependent verbs

níl = negetive of tá

Im sure theres other uses, thats just off the top of my head

Níl is actually just a contraction of ní fhuil, the same verb as in, e.g., nach bhfuil (fuil being the dependent form of the verb ).
