A craftsman like the Taoiseach (12)
I believe the answer is:
cabinetmaker
'a craftsman' is the definition.
(cabinetmaker is a kind of craftsman)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cabinetmaker that I've seen before include "craftsman" , "Woodworker" , "Joiner" , "one living in 14 [DOWNING STREET] ?" .)
