Ross

I believe the answer is:

right reverend

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'any point to finish the minister's address' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'entitlement to open report' is the wordplay.
'entitlement' becomes 'right' (I've seen this before).
'to open report' becomes 'reverend' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'right'+'reverend'='RIGHT REVEREND'

'at' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for right reverend that I've seen before include "Bishop's title of respect" , "Form of address for bishop" , "Title given to a bishop" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
