Disrupted, shambolic lines with certain stresses (9) C?O?#?N?S This technique with edges of palms could make you the opposite of more irritable (5) R???# # indicates check letter
One way of looking at this clue is to take the "edges of palms" which would give r??ps.
Another way is to reverse the letters of a word meaning more irritable. This could be "drier " when reversed gives reird. This word does exist but it means uproar or clamour.
