Irish love getting uplifting praise - it's changing slowly (7)
I believe the answer is:
gradual
'changing slowly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'irish love getting uplifting praise' is the wordplay.
'irish love' becomes 'gra' (I've seen this in another clue).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'uplifting' is a reversal indicator.
'praise' becomes 'laud' (lauding is a kind of praising).
'laud' in reverse letter order is 'dual'.
'gra'+'dual'='GRADUAL'
'it's' is the link.
(Other definitions for gradual that I've seen before include "Unhurried" , "mass response" , "Gentle; slow" , "Proceeding in small stages" , "Little-by-little" .)
