The Northern Ireland Takeaway Association is pleading with Stormont and Westminster for support as the industry faces difficult days ahead.
Michael Henderson, from the association, has been meeting with takeaway owners, and their staff, who have expressed their frustrations. He says they have been alerted to close to 50 closures in the last three weeks - and fears it won't stop there.
Speaking to Belfast Live, he said liaison between the industry and the Assembly needs to be established, before more shutters are brought down for good.
