Ignore a fault or misdemeanour (8)

I believe the answer is:

overlook

(Other definitions for overlook that I've seen before include "Ignore a fault or have a view from above" , "Ignore or fail to notice" , "Miss; forgive" , "Give a view from above - miss" , "Ignore or fail to see" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
