Politician cycling for nation with luck (5)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
irish
'politician' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for irish that I've seen before include "Hibernian -- breed of 4" , "Hi, Sir, ar you a Celt?" , "From Galway, say" , "Nationality" , "From Eire" .)
