Admirable or deserving (6)

I believe the answer is:

worthy

I believe this is a double definition.

'admirable' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'deserving' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for worthy that I've seen before include "VIP" , "Good enough" , "Notability" , "Commendable" , "Admirable, excellent or deserving" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
