Edna and Kate, Irish writers (6)

I believe the answer is:

obrien

(Other definitions for obrien that I've seen before include "'Kate ..., Edna ..., (1'5)'" , "Conor Cruise and Kate" , "Edna, novelist" , "Flann -, Irish novelist" , "I be Ron, strangely, with this surname" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
