It produces legislation almost every day (4)

I believe the answer is:

dail

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it produces legislation' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'almost every day' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'every day' becomes 'daily' (synonyms).
'daily' with its last letter removed is 'DAIL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dail that I've seen before include "Irish assembly" , "Pre-conquest Mexican" , "Dublin house" , "Lower house of the Irish legislature" , "Himalayan kingdom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
