he Government is scrambling to find a way for Justice Minister Helen McEntee to take maternity leave without having to resign temporarily or stand aside when her baby is born.
The minister’s baby is due in May and she intends to take six months’ leave.
Her announcement is seen as a hugely positive example for women in leadership roles and politics.
However, there is no provision for a politician to take maternity leave, not least a Cabinet member in a sensitive portfolio like justice minister.
With just weeks until Ms McEntee is due to take maternity leave, urgent discussions are under way to find a solution.
