Irish with a question, one for Arab (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iraqi

'for arab' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'irish with a question one' is the wordplay.
'irish' becomes 'IR' (abbreviation).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'question' becomes 'q'.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'ir'+'a'+'q'+'i'='IRAQI'

(Other definitions for iraqi that I've seen before include "Native of Baghdad, say" , "Arab national" , "Sadaam, say" , "foreigner" , "Inhabitant of Baghdad?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph and The Sun.
