Well, I finished it but I think I must be missing the blindingly obvious as I can't parse the following:

22a Dancer having left Ireland settled in Welsh town (9). Must be BALLERINA re 'dancer' but no sure why else.

24a Unknown vessel with hundred captured by alien being wiped out (7). Must be EXTINCT and I have the 'X' (unknown), the 'ET' (alien) and the 'C' (hundred) but missing the rest.

Any explanation please?
