The whole of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (Eire) has been defined badly and here so quite oddly. Ulster is an old united Ireland province with 9 counties (6 in Northern Ireland and 3 in Eire). So therefore, by that simple fact, Ulster and by implication, none of the other province names in Eire should ever be used here either. Counties and/or postcodes MUST be used when establishing a location to continue the norm of the rest of UK to Nthn Ireland's 6 counties. We do not use Wessex, Home Counties, Anglia, or other areas of Scotland and Wales, and counties are the best way to separate mutiples - Newport, Newtown, Whitchurch spring to mind. The Republic Of Ireland has its own 26 counties to utilise and provide a better location indicator for those venues there. So short Belfast summary - NI, UK correct; Ulster, Ireland wrong (outdated currently) -- even using Ireland as a country is an error and promotes the misunderstanding.
