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!

'a stack' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'fruit in ireland' is the wordplay.
'fruit' becomes 'lime' (lime is a kind of fruit).
'in ireland' becomes 'rick' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'lime'+'rick'='LIMERICK'

'of' acts as a link.

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" .)
