Breach caused by a wide divergence of opinion? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gap

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'breach' is the definition.
(I know that breach can be written as gap)

'a wide divergence of opinion?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'gp' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'caused by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gap that I've seen before include "Break, in a fence say" , "fracture" , "A break or opening as in a hedge" , "Small opening" , "Opening, breach" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
