Under surveillance — and irritated! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bugged

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'under surveillance' is the first definition.
(a bug is a secret microphone)

'irritated' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for bugged that I've seen before include "Softly glowing" , "Fitted with hidden microphone for eavesdropping" , "Of room, fitted with secret microphones" , "Description of room fitted with illegal listening devices - infested?" , "Annoyed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
