rte guide (ireland) - final clue

[starmack]

Any help appreciated to finish this for today's post. Unsure on one clue. Reversion or Recension come to mind as answers but not sure how they fit the clue.....

5D: Devolution is not progress. 9 letters *E*E*S*O*

Hi Ulysses 100 - Recession fits but, again, I cannot reconcile it with clue. Now have
1. Reversion
2. Recession
3. Recension.

Have discounted no 3.
