Irelands Own No. 1029

(7d) A brief statement of fact or opinion. (7) _ _ M _ E _ _ .
(18d) Item of clothing. (7) _ _ R _ E _ _ .
(27a) Red fruit used in a salad. (6) _ O _ A _ A .
i think there is a mistake in the last A . The clue down is Clumsy; not graceful. I have the answer AWKWARD, which would give an A as the last letter of 27a. I think the answer for 27a is TOMATO.

Hi Jimby, think they made a mistake, tomato &
awkward are correct but don't fit in, but as you know
they have made mistakes before.
We could spell tomato as some in Belfast pronounce
it TOMATA then awkward would fit in???
Sometime back the answer was Althorp, try putting
that in five spaces but there was a winner, just
fit the letters in that correspond with other words. !!!

Good luck
