In Ireland, police road intersecting local sports organisation (5)
I believe the answer is:
garda
'in ireland police' is the definition.
'garda' can be an answer for 'police' (member of the Irish police). I am not certain of the 'in ireland' bit.
'road intersecting local sports organisation' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'road' could be 'rd' (abbreviation) and 'rd' is found in the answer.
'organisation' could be 'aa' (Automobile Association) and 'aa' is found in the remaining letters.
A single letter 'g' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for garda that I've seen before include "One of our police - what a drag" , "Irish police officer" , "An Irish limb of the law" , "Cop" , "Member of the police" .)
