A broadcaster in Ireland, female, almost a goddess (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artemis

'a goddess' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a broadcaster in ireland female almost' is the wordplay.
'broadcaster in ireland' becomes 'rte' (RTE is an Irish TV and radio broadcaster).
'female' becomes 'miss' (miss refers to a young woman).
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'miss' with its last letter removed is 'mis'.
'a'+'rte'+'mis'='ARTEMIS'

(Other definitions for artemis that I've seen before include "Greek huntress goddess" , "Virgin" , "Mythical Greek huntress" , "God" , "Twin sister of Apollo" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
