[elliemay1]

clue for 19d, please?

[Mamyalynne]

22 Broke

[eanceoil]

22a Broke (first letters of words in second sentence)

[scooke]

That is clue for 19d as in the paper

[dannyk13]

22a.Broke?

[Mamyalynne]

That likely is the clue.

[elliemay1]

sans mots??

[Davemano]

Yes --Sans Mots Without words

[fiction-factory]

Well done elliemay.
It seems an odd clue to me- why the three slashes, I wonder, and why even show the s at the start and finish

[elliemay1]

Agree, factor. Also, as it's RTE would have thought they would have used gaelic instead of French.

[fiction-factory]

On later thread it now seems as if 19d could be LONG SHIP

[Davemano]

ff They were long boats, not ships I believe

[fiction-factory]

But the pattern now is l?n?,??i?
I think scooke was just assuming it started and finished in S

[fiction-factory]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longship
Does seem to be one word though

[Davemano]

ff Agreed , and longgoat is shown as one word and is another name for a longship. Looking at the diagram it certainly resembles the looks of the clue, the slashes being the oars.

[dannyk13]

Viking longships had oars.

[Davemano]

Danny, yes, the picture on post of ff shows this.
