But, there’s a pretty big but. The Constitution, the law and the political system are against her. Ms McEntee’s case is unprecedented. There is no provision for a TD to take maternity leave, let alone a Cabinet minister. The optics, politics and logistics of the Justice Minister’s maternity leave are complex, will be scrutinised and do matter to women.
Technically, a TD doesn’t actually take any sort of leave, including holidays. TDs are paid once they are elected and their level of activity over the term of the Dáil is determined by themselves.

Dear Mirror Lawyer, what is deportation? Is it possible for a Ghanaian to be deported from his own country?
Kabu Adodoadji, Tema.
Dear Kabu, Deportation is the removal of a foreign national to his or her country of citizenship or permanent residency for reasons such as illegal entry, serious criminal behaviour, overstaying the permissible entry visa duration, breach of the conditions of the visa, potential threat to the public welfare or otherwise for other reasons lost their legal status to remain in the country.
In Ghana, the law governing deportation is the Immigration Act, 2000 Act 573.

There are concerns that deportations from Ireland to the UK are increasing ahead of January due to Brexit.
The issue has been raised in the Dáil and Seanad by Sinn Féin representatives in the last 24-hours.
Deputy Louise O Reilly and Senator Lynn Boylan have expressed concern that this is happening under the Dublin Regulation.
Often referred to as Dublin III; the European Law determines which country is responsible for examining an asylum application.
It is normally the country where the asylum seeker first entered Europe.
One of the aims of the Regulation is to ensure that an individual does not make multiple applications for asylum in several member states.
After seven wonerful years together, Bernadette D Arcy and Benjamin Akhile are facing forced separation on Thursday due to an order of deportation.

I m devastated, said Bernie, a native of Gorey who works at SuperValu in Greystones. She is pleading with Minister for Justice Helen McEntee to intervene and allow Ben to stay at home with her.
