Assume there's a wild gale in Ireland (7)
I believe the answer is:
donegal
'ireland' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'assume there's a wild gale in' is the wordplay.
'assume' becomes 'don' (I've seen this in another clue).
'there's a wild' is an anagram indicator.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'gale' with letters rearranged gives 'egal'.
'don' put inside 'egal' is 'DONEGAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for donegal that I've seen before include "County of NW?Ireland" , "Irish town" , "Ireland's northmost county" , "County of NW Ireland" , "Lean dog (anag) - Irish county" .)
