State emphatically and authoritatively (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

declare

(Other definitions for declare that I've seen before include "Announce 13 closed" , "... cut short innings" , "Make a statement, to customs perhaps" , "Announce formally" , "say" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
