A stack of fruit in Ireland (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

limerick

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in ireland' is the definition.
(I know that Limerick is part of Republic of Ireland)

'a stack of fruit' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'stack' could be 'rick' (ricking is a kind of stacking) and 'rick' is located in the answer.
'fruit' could be 'lime' (lime is a kind of fruit) and 'lime' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for limerick that I've seen before include "port used in Ireland" , "Humorous five-line verse" , "Humorous verse of 5 lines" , "City of humorous verse" , "Witty poem from mid-western Irish city" .)
