11a clue

[Captain2]

Are you sure it's 'Dail'?

[DJAN73]

Hi Captain2, yes Dail is correct (the xword is in an Irish magazine, and the Dail is the name of the Irish parliament)

[Captain2]

Ooops! Course it is. Thanks

[DJAN73]

No bother Captain2 - was wondering if the answer might be SEAT, as in a seat in parliament ??

Also one last clue:-

7d Sounds like an unusual book (5) ???E?
is it NOVEL ??

[frugalfred]

Leinster House, Dublin is where the Dail meets, if that helps, Captain2. I can't get anything out of it.

[frugalfred]

Novel is fine

[frugalfred]

If we take TIME out of ESTIMATE, we are left with ESAT, an anagram of SEAT.

[Captain2]

I can only see 'Seat' or 'Stab' - as in 'I'll take a stab at the answer' ie guess/estimate - but can't parse either word

[Wharton]

seat - anagram of estimate minus time

[Captain2]

Looks good to me fred.

Thank you all for all your help - finished at last :)
