Irishman adds National Insurance to total (5)
I believe the answer is:
niall
'irishman' is the definition.
(common Irish name)
'national insurance to total' is the wordplay.
'national insurance' becomes 'NI' (UK tax).
'to total' becomes 'all' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ni'+'all'='NIALL'
'adds' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for niall that I've seen is " Irishman".)
I've seen this clue in The Sun.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
