Bad result for part of Ireland (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ulster

'part of ireland' is the definition.
(I know that Ulster located in the administrative territorial entity Republic of Ireland)

'bad result' is the wordplay.
'bad' is an anagram indicator.
'result' anagrammed gives 'ULSTER'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ulster that I've seen before include "Overcoat; Northern Ireland" , "Northern Ireland (loosely)" , "A heavy coat" , "old province" , "Loose overcoat - result (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
