Ulster Covenant

The Ulster Covenant was signed by hundreds of thousands of men all over Ulster, Ireland, on and before September 28, 1912, in protest of a Home Rule bill introduced by the British government in that same year. The signers were Ulster loyalists, who were against the establishment of an Irish parliament in Dublin. The Ulster Covenant is immortalised in Rudyard Kipling`s poem Ulster 1912.
