使用する際の注意点

• The historical province of Ulster included present-day Northern Ireland as well as parts of the Republic of Ireland. Using Ulster to refer only to Northern Ireland is often proscribed. This is in part because this usage is imprecise. More importantly, this usage is typical of a partisan, unionist parlance and is therefore avoided for neutrality. However, the name survives, as illustrated by BBC Radio Ulster.
• The word is also used in the attributive form relating to, or originating from Ulster, e.g. an Ulster fry.
