Step in, become involved (9)

I believe the answer is:

intervene

(Other definitions for intervene that I've seen before include "Step in (to change the course of events)" , "Interfere, step in" , "Mediate" , "Be between things" , "Step in, become involved" .)

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