Furore over books in part of Belfast (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stormont

'part of belfast' is the definition.
(I know this)

'furore over books' is the wordplay.
'furore' becomes 'storm' (I've seen this before).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'books' becomes 'nt' (abbreviation for New Testament).
'storm'+'o'+'nt'='STORMONT'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stormont that I've seen before include "Belfast seat of old Parliament" , "N. Ireland parliament" , "Site of Northern Ireland Parliament House" , "Seat of Northern Ireland assembly" , "Site of NI parliament" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
