The Ulster Defence Union was a loyalist organisation launched on St Patrick’s day 1893, in response to the 2nd Home Rule bill, “to declare the policy and direct the action of the Ulster Unionists and to raise funds for the purposes of the organization from loyalists of all classes.” The motto of the organisation was “Quis separabit” (which is the same as the UDA’s).
