All of Mr Paul Frew’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail the number of pupils who have had a myocardial infarction during school hours or activity, in each of the last ten years.
I thank the Member for his contribution. He makes a valid point about joined-up government. Can we be really sure that the money that goes to TEO before filtering down to councils is being spent appropriately and profitably to ensure that we protect women and girls properly? That is a question for the Finance…
FlaggedConstitutional question, Brexit, the Windsor Framework and sovereigntyCriteria met: Dog-whistle messaging.
I thank the Minister for his answer. Given the rainfall, will the Minister grant flexibility to the farming community this year to allow them to manage through this period of weather and manage their own land?
There is good news and an answer to prayer in that we found out today that the trial for the murder of Chloe Mitchell is scheduled to start on 9 March. I welcome the exemption of the upcoming trial relating to Chloe's murder. I spoke recently to Chloe's father, George, and I know how much that decision will mean to…
Mr Frew asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for his analysis of the severe challenges facing farmers after a whole month of consecutive days of rainfall, which has left ground conditions unsuitable for the safe spreading of slurry across many parts of Northern Ireland.

To ask the Minister of Health whether his Department has any formal plans to offer focal therapy as a means of treatment for men diagnosed with prostate cancer.

To ask the Minister of Health to detail any consideration his Department has given to the role of a respiratory Modern Service Framework, in reducing winter pressures on the NHS, by simultaneously improving outcomes for long-term respiratory conditions, and short-term respiratory illnesses such as flu.
I thank the Member for giving way. He rightly states that the motion has consequences and actions, one of which is that the Assembly should write to the UK Secretary of State and the Irish Republic Government. Should it be reflected in that letter that the House was divided when it voted on the motion?
I oppose the motion, because it is absolutely nothing but political posturing. This has been a hypocritical debate. Like Sian Mulholland, I was on the ground in that period, along with other elected representatives from most parties. We saw the damage that was being done. We witnessed the violence and the pain, the…
I rise with regrets to lament the loss of McKillens department store on Church Street, Ballymena, straight after the loss of Wyse Byse, another family-run business in the heart of the town. These are serious times. I feel shock but also gratitude to the McKillen family for serving the people not only of the town of…
