Again hand over communist and get abuse back (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

redeliver

'again hand over' is the definition.
('deliver' can be a synonym for 'hand over' so perhaps 'redeliver' is OK for 'again hand over')

'communist and get abuse back' is the wordplay.
'communist' becomes 'red' (red can informally mean communist).
'and get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'abuse' becomes 'revile' (reviling is a kind of abusing).
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'revile' backwards is 'eliver'.
'red'+'eliver'='REDELIVER'

(Another definition for redeliver that I've seen is " Once again provide".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
