Takeaway businesses in Northern Ireland are closing their shutters for the last time each day, as food and energy prices increase and support remains unavailable.
The Northern Ireland Takeaway Association acts as a voice for local business owners, and says they are receiving more and more calls each week to alert the body of closures. The association says urgent action is needed from local government and Westminster, to prevent more job losses.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Michael Henderson, from the association, says they fear more closures will come if support is not announced and delivered as soon as possible.
