5. Divisions and settlements
Division of Ireland after the Anglo-
Irish Treaty of 1921.
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 has
32 traditional counties. Twenty-six
of these counties are in the
Republic of Ireland and six are in
Northern Ireland. The six 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 the two are not
coterminous.
