- Northern Ireland, a part of the United Kingdom that the remaining sixth. Its capital is Belfast.
Traditionally, Ireland is subdivided into four provinces:Connacht (west), Leinster (east), Munster (south), and Ulster (north). In a system that developed between the 13th and 17th centuries, Ireland hasthirty-two traditional counties.[8] Twenty-six of the counties are in the Republic of Ireland, and six counties are in Northern Ireland.
The six of Ulster's nine counties that constitute Northern Ireland are all in the province of Ulster (which has nine counties in total). As such, "Ulster" is often used as a synonym for Northern Ireland, although Ulster and Northern Ireland are neither synonymous nor co-terminous. Counties Dublin,Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford and Tipperaryhave been broken up into smaller administrative areas. However, they are still considered by theOrdnance Survey Ireland to be official counties. The counties in Northern Ireland are no longer used for local governmental purposes, though their traditional boundaries are still used for informal purposes such as sports leagues and in some other cultural, ceremonial or tourism contexts.[9]
