Whispers “Ulster’s free!” (7)
I believe the answer is:
rustles
'whispers' is the definition.
('rustle' can be a synonym of 'whisper')
'ulster's free' is the wordplay.
'free' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ulsters' is an anagram of 'RUSTLES'.
(Another definition for rustles that I've seen is " Steals cattle or sounds like ulsters".)
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
