Country lads love Niamh’s clothes (8)
I believe the answer is:
slovenia
'country' is the definition.
(Slovenia is an example)
'lads love niamh's clothes' is the wordplay.
'clothes' indicates a hidden word (the letters clothe the hidden word).
'SLOVENIA' is hidden within 'lads love niamh'.
(Other definitions for slovenia that I've seen before include "No valise to be found in the central European republic" , "in E" , "State" , "Central European republic, became independent in 1991" , "European country, capital Ljubljana" .)
