Long-lasting repairs to inn urged (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enduring

'long-lasting' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'repairs to inn urged' is the wordplay.
'repairs' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'repair' mean this (letters are fixed or repaired)).
'inn'+'urged'='innurged'
'innurged' with letters rearranged gives 'ENDURING'.

(Other definitions for enduring that I've seen before include "Lasting a very long time, despite hardship (8)" , "Going through" , "Long-lasting" , "Permanent" , "Eternal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
