Woman getting a mention Dublin dailies (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

linda

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

'mention dublin dailies' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'woman getting a' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'lind' ().
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'lind'+'a'='LINDA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for linda that I've seen before include "- Ronstadt, US singer" , "girl" , "Girl's name (I, not Y)" , "23 [LOVELACE]" , "lady" .)
