Irish meeting English displeasure (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ire

'displeasure' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'irish meeting english' is the wordplay.
'irish' becomes 'ir' (abbreviation).
'meeting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'ir'+'e'='IRE'

(Other definitions for ire that I've seen before include "Irritation, anger" , "Anger, rage" , "Hot temper" , "passion" , "passionate feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
