HELEN McEntee has made history by becoming the first Government Minister to get pregnant while in office.

The Justice Minister yesterday announced she and her husband are expecting their first child together.

The Fine Gael TD confirmed the pregnancy on social media, posting a picture of her and partner Paul Hickey’s Christmas stockings.
