Dismissing for plundering (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sacking

This clue is a double definition.

'dismissing' is the first definition.
('sack' can be a synonym of 'dismiss')

'for plundering' is the second definition.
('sack' can be a synonym of 'plunder')

(Other definitions for sacking that I've seen before include "Terminating someone's employment" , "Looting - coarse cloth - dismissal" , "Coarse stuff" , "Terminating a person's employment" , "devastating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
