Eires face is altered by a truce (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ceasefire

'a truce' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'eires face is altered' is the wordplay.
'is altered' indicates an anagram.
'eires'+'face'='eiresface'
'eiresface' is an anagram of 'CEASEFIRE'.

'by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ceasefire that I've seen before include "Break in fighting" , "Truce" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
