Guard Irishman with posh car? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

patroller

'guard' is the definition.
(patroller is a kind of guard)

'irishman with posh car?' is the wordplay.
'irishman' becomes 'pat'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'posh car?' becomes 'roller'.
'pat'+'roller'='PATROLLER'

(Other definitions for patroller that I've seen before include "Security guard" , "perambulator" , "Mobile guard" , "Beach guard, perhaps" , "sentinel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
