Irreversible act ( French ) (4,8)

I believe the answer is:

fait accompli

(Other definitions for fait accompli that I've seen before include "Something already done (French)" , "A done deal" , "Irreversible action" , "Something done and unalterable" , "Something already decided" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
