Irish pet maybe embarrassed me (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
red setter
'irish pet maybe' is the definition.
(I know that red setter is a common type of pet)
'embarrassed me' is the wordplay.
'embarrassed' becomes 'red' (someone may blush or go red when embarrassed).
'me' becomes 'setter' (the person who set this crossword).
'red'+'setter'='RED SETTER'
(Other definitions for red setter that I've seen before include "supplier of crosswords to the Daily Worker?" , "Shepherds are delighted to see this" , "One of my best friends" , "description of evening sun?" , "Breed of dog" .)
