The Commissioners of Public Works, acting as my agents, have made an engineering survey of the Rivers Deale and Swillyburn and adjacent embankments on the River Foyle. A decision as to what works should be carried out must await consideration of the engineering report. I am expecting the report shortly and will then consider whether a scheme can be carried out.
