Reversal of law concerning prolonged sound (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repeal

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

'reversal of law' is the definition.
'repeal' can be an answer for 'reversal' (I have seen 'reversal of act' mean 'repeal' so perhaps 'reversal' could also mean 'repeal'). I am not sure about the 'of law' bit.

'concerning prolonged sound' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'prolonged sound' becomes 'peal' (peal is a kind of sound. I am not sure about the 'prolonged' bit.).
're'+'peal'='REPEAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for repeal that I've seen before include "Rescind or withdraw a law" , "reverse" , "set aside" , "'Annul, revoke (6)'" , "Annulment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
