Did you mean wells?
Paul Frew: ...was difficult to get a care package for someone living in a high area or a countryside area like Newtowncrommelin or Glenwhirry. Here we are in 2024, and people in villages such as Broughshane and Kells struggle to get care packages. The rot has crept right down into lowlands and population centres. Something is therefore going dramatically wrong. It strikes me that one of the easiest ways...
Roy Beggs: ..., but there are also new, exciting greenways that seem to largely follow the old narrow-gauge rail network that existed in the north Antrim area. There is a proposed greenway from Ballymena, Kells, Ballynashee — an area that I know well — onto Ballynure, which would link up to a new proposed route from Larne to Ballyclare. There is another proposed greenway in north Antrim from...
Jim Allister: ...Minister for Infrastructure whether she thinks that it is sensible that the Planning Appeals Commission does not have powers to revoke permissions that, on reflection, were wrong, particularly the Kells battery energy storage scheme, which was approved on the basis of being non-generating, with the Department now decreeing that such schemes are generating. (AQT 1045/17-22)
Jim Shannon: ...for being late—my plane was delayed and I ran the whole way here, so I am still catching my breath. Women have been at the forefront of the defence of human rights for many years, such as Maud Kells from Northern Ireland, who has spent 50 years providing maternity care for Congolese women, even after she was shot by a bandit while in the missionary hospital she helped to found. Women...
Robin Swann: I declare an interest as I have a three-year-old son who has a preschool place at Kells and Connor Pre-School. That facility not only is an exemplar but was graded "outstanding" in a recent ETI inspection. I pay tribute to Sarah Woods and her staff for the service that they deliver, providing preschool care and places in a small rural village. There are many examples like Kells and Connor...
Jim Shannon: ...town has been one of the busiest towns in the whole of Northern Ireland, and again, that is down to the local, indigenous small and medium-sized enterprises there, such as Wardens, Knotts, Kells and Excel. Some Members have talked about online shopping, which our high street has adapted to. We have ensured that we have made the changes, and Excel in Newtownards is a supreme example of...
William Humphrey: ...about the role that they play. They are great, articulate and intelligent spokespersons for the band fraternity, and I pay tribute to them. I was speaking earlier to my party colleague Nigel Kells, who is a councillor in Antrim and involved in Gortagilly Coronation Flute Band. That band has communitised to the extent that it has officers in charge of education and careers tuition in the...
Jim Allister: Does the Minister, therefore, accept that PPS 18 is not fit for purpose when it comes to dealing with large-scale solar farm applications such as the intended 250-acre application at Kells? In light of that, and the fact that he speaks of the need for further guidance, would it not be appropriate now to impose a moratorium on considering such applications until an adequate policy is in place?
Nigel Dodds: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what diplomatic, humanitarian or consular assistance his Department has provided to Ms Maud Kells, the missionary from County Tyrone who was shot and wounded in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
William McCrea: ...Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions he has had with the government of the Republic of Congo as to the safety and protection of the British missionary, Ms Maud Kells.
David Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps the Government plans to take in response to the shooting of the Northern Irish missionary, Ms Maud Kells OBE, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Paul Frew: ...There are a couple of things there. First of all, when you invest in anything, someone pays for it. Secondly, where do we advance the grid? Whilst there is pressure on Ballycastle substation and Kells substation, there will also be pressure on other substations. Where do we put that advancement in? Surely that is where a demand-led side of things must come in.
Robin Swann: ...ín will know that from our time in the Committee for Culture, Arts and Leisure. When it came to the provision of libraries in rural communities, he fought for Dungiven as much as I fought for Kells, and we fought for a similar cause at that stage. So, the provision of sport across the entire Causeway Coast and glens is where the audit should be based and where we should be focusing...
Trevor Clarke: ...the good educational standards in Creavery. For your benefit, Mr Deputy Speaker — you are not from the area — Creavery Primary School is a small rural school between Antrim, Randalstown and Kells, with an enrolment of approximately 68 children and growing. However, the reason for the debate is that there are problems with the accommodation. The other thing that I want to do from...
Paul Frew: ...the moment and go back to the attractiveness of the station. It is fair to say that you will be exposed if you spend any length of time on that platform. I grew up beside the train tracks in Kellswater, where there are two platforms. It is only a townland, but there are two platforms, and I suppose that goes back to the historical strength and usage of the rail system in our...
Carál Ní Chuilín: ...the Member for his question. As I said, one has already been taken forward. The ones in, I think, Killyleagh and, certainly, Carnlough are progressing well. The remaining four are in Fintona, Kells and Connor, Richhill and Greystone in Antrim. There have been ongoing discussions with Libraries NI about trying to look at different partnerships and different provision in those...
Robin Swann: To continue the tradition, I declare an interest as the past master and lecturer of Fernisky LOL 115; past master of Ballylurgan Royal Black Preceptory 1192; member of Kells and Fernisky Royal Black Preceptory 271; member of the Antrim Club of the Murray Club of the Apprentice Boys of Derry; and chairman of Cromkill pipe band. However, as has been pointed out, all those details are...
Cathal Ó hOisín: ...importance that it was returned to the National Museum in Dublin. It has now become synonymous with the island of Ireland, and, indeed, it is the second most visited artefact after the Book of Kells. It has also appeared on British coinage and banknotes, and almost half a million people visit it each year. We have in mind that we will have it returned on temporary loan some time to our new...
Aileen McLeod: ..., whether it be the Cairnsmore of Fleet or along the cradle of Scotland’s independence, as it is known, which starts and ends at Bruce’s stone overlooking Loch Trool, or along the Rhinns of Kells. Since the Galloway mountain rescue team was formed in 1976 it has responded to more than 400 incidents—in all weather conditions, day and night—which have covered a wide range of...
Robin Swann: Kells, as usual, and probably my constituency office.
