Core RUC reforms take place again (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reoccur

'take place again' is the definition.
('occur' can be a synonym for 'take place' so perhaps 'reoccur' is OK for 'take place again')

'core ruc reforms' is the wordplay.
'reforms' indicates anagramming the letters.
'core'+'ruc'='coreruc'
'coreruc' with letters rearranged gives 'REOCCUR'.

(Other definitions for reoccur that I've seen before include "make comeback" , "Come again?" , "Happen again" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
