It doesn't control Ulster.
It only has control over 2 thirds of it.
1 third was reclaimed by the Irish.
The Brits moved their own people in so when it came to votes, the Brits would win.

Why did Michael Collins give 6 counties to England?
He didn't. When the Irish Free State was formed in 1921, the majority of the population in the six counties voted to remain part of the United Kingdom. A minority of the population of the six counties wanted to join what is now the Republic of Ireland and still do, hence the killings and lawlessness that Ulster has had to endure in the past decades. There is now an uneasy peace. If Britain had got rid of Ulster in 1921 - against the wishes of the majority - they wouldn't be saddled with the expense of Ulster now. But that's democracy.
