Crossword Genius

Intern or handler disorientated in part of the UK (8,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

northern ireland

'part of the uk' is the definition.
('Northern Ireland' is part of 'uk')

'intern or handler disorientated' is the wordplay.
'disorientated' indicates an anagram.
'intern'+'or'+'handler'='internorhandler'
'internorhandler' anagrammed gives 'NORTHERN IRELAND'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Another definition for northern ireland that I've seen is " Part of the UK".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
