Recklessness of writing article about town in Cork (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abandon

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

'recklessness of writing' is the definition.
'abandon' can be an answer for 'recklessness' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'of writing' bit.

'article about town in cork' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'about town in' becomes 'bando' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'cork' indicates putting letters inside (to cork can mean to plug a hole in something).
'an' placed around 'bando' is 'ABANDON'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for abandon that I've seen before include "Lack of inhibition; desert" , "Desert - it's wild" , "Jack in" , "Leave in the lurch" , "Kick" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
