Depart, for holiday, say (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leave

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'depart' is the first definition.
(I know that depart is a more specific form of leave)

'for holiday' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'say' is the third definition.
(I know that say is a more specific form of convey)

(Other definitions for leave that I've seen before include "Exit" , "Depart on work holiday?" , "Permission (to take holidays?)" , "Go away on holiday" , "Permission to go; allow to remain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
