tanaiste

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

'deputy leader' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'in a state getting reshuffled' is the wordplay.
'getting reshuffled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'a'+'state'='inastate'
'inastate' is an anagram of 'TANAISTE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
