Finanical pressure on businesses in Northern Ireland is "likely to get worse" later this year as inflation costs continue to spiral out of control.
Derry chamber president, Aidan O'Kane said the cost-of-living crisis and inflation were 'putting serious pressure on businesses across the North West'.
Mr O'Kane comments come as MPs in Westminister voted in controversial new legislation this week to give ministers powers to override parts of the post-Brexit deal on Northern Ireland.
