Crossword Genius

Important subject, children (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

issue

I believe this is a double definition.

'important subject' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'children' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "One of a series published periodically" , "Topic (to be addressed)" , "Publish, bring out" , "Come forth or bring out" , "Children, offspring" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
