Connacht-Ulster is one of Ireland's four regional
constituencies[?] for elections to the
European Parliament. It returns three
Members of the European Parliament[?] (
MEPs).
Duke of Connaught was a British royal title given to a son of the British monarch. The last British prince awarded the title was
Arthur, Duke of Connaught[?], (
1850-
1942), son of Queen
Victoria. As
Ireland is no longer part of the
United Kingdom, it is not expected that the title will be awarded again.
