Ancient province of Ireland made up of nine counties (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ulster

(Other definitions for ulster that I've seen before include "A heavy coat" , "Northern Ireland (loosely)" , "Overcoat; N. Ireland" , "Overcoat; former kingdom in Ireland" , "Six, or nine, counties" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
