There's a call on the government to put a package of supports together in the Budget to help all businesses in hospitality.
The Restaurants Association of Ireland is making the call as restaurants express deep concern that spiralling energy prices are unsustainable.
Hotels and cafes are also concerned there may be closures and job cuts due to soaring energy costs, according to the Irish Examiner.
The Restaurants Association of Ireland's Chief Executive Adrian Cummins says it'll be hard for restaurants to stay in business.
