Calls have been made to challenge the Department of Regional Development following the news that ratepayers could foot the bill of  ₤6.4 million pounds for the restoration of Derry’s Queen’s Quay.

SDLP Cllr Patsy Kelly says the DRD are handing over things that are not fit for purpose and is asking the council to challenge them on the matter:
