It's uncouth to jeer Irish leader off (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boorish

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

'it's uncouth' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'jeer irish leader off' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'jeer' could be 'boo' (I've seen this before) and 'boo' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for boorish that I've seen before include "Uncouth" , "Rude - vulgar - rustic" , "Ill-mannered and insensitive" , "Coarse - ill-mannered" , "Coarse, rough or rude" .)
