IDA is the abbreviation of the Irl semi-state body, the Industrial Development Authority, and I might have seen it in the clue but for the hyphen.
Again, thanks all.
The clue leads you to find the answer via 'coming from....' but presumably it is from 'in the ......' or else what part does 'in the government agency' play in the clue? Or am I missing something?
Captain2 I see your point. I double-checked the clue wording.
Seems a little bit 'out there' as a clue, in fairness, like you say, but anyway, thank you for taking the time and effort to respond. It is greatly appreciated.
