Ulster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ulster is one of the four provinces which make up the island of Ireland. The others are Leinster, Munster and Connacht.
There are nine counties in Ulster. Three are in Ireland (which is sometimes called the Republic of Ireland though that is not its official name). The other six counties make up all of Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom
The name "Ulster" is also sometimes used to mean Northern Ireland, even though Northern Ireland is only part of Ulster.
