Are you sure of the letters for the second clue?

canvassers.?

[pquinlan]

Apologies to all, I inadvertently deleted 2 letters from 2nd clue, should be C?N?A?S?R?. Arggh, am annoyed at myself, I get annoyed when others do it.

So Cucuhullan, you're right, thank you. (This is an Irish crossword and the numbers refer to our next General Election).

Thank you Kayakamina, once again.
