It serves the petty-mindedness of these people to still call it Ulster, partly so they don't have to say Ireland, and partly to wind up Nationalists. Republicans also don't like the name Northern Ireland, preferring instead the North of Ireland implying Ireland is still one entity or sometimes even 'the Six Counties'. It is an irony that Ulster was the last part of Ireland to be defeated and now remains the last part of Ireland in the United Kingdom there are good reasons why this happened, Ulster was set up differently to the rest of Ireland up to that point and by , the plantation of Ulster.

Should it not be the people of the area who decide? In any case I believe in democracy and freedom of speech google it and see what it means, Darren and at the end of the day, people should be able to call it what they want, as long as they expect that and respect that there are others who chose to call it differently. You obviously cannot do that.

Oisin, Wexford, Ireland Darren, what about the men who fought and died in the Great War for the cause of freedom who came back to Ulster to find that six of their counties were taken by a foreign power? I was Born in Down which is one of the nine counties in the Province of Ulster. When it comes down to my country I wear my Ireland shirt.

I think Irish history should be taught to all children in the schools.
