Irishman I brought forward for a summary (2,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in all

'for a summary' is the definition.
('in all' is used to introduce a summary)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for in all that I've seen before include "Taking everything into account" , "Summarising" , "Everything considered" , "With everything counted" , "Taken as a whole" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
