County has finished with girl (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

donegal

'county' is the definition.
(county of Ireland)

'finished with girl' is the wordplay.
'finished' becomes 'done' (both can mean completed).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'girl' becomes 'gal'.
'done'+'gal'='DONEGAL'

'has' is the link.

(Other definitions for donegal that I've seen before include "Irish town" , "part of Ireland" , "County of NW Ireland" , "County of NW?Ireland" , "Lean dog (anag) - Irish county" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
