'We have to take action on energy prices.' Irish MEP Frances Fitzgerald is calling on the EU to create a price shield to protect small businesses this winter.

Former Justice Minister Fitzgerald said she's heard from countless small business owners who are struggling to pay their electricity bills."We now know that there is a crisis actually impacting on small businesses across Ireland, indeed across Europe", she said.

Ms Fitzgerald described small businesses as the"backbone of our society" and that the Irish government and the European Union must"take every step" to lessen the impact of the cost of living crisis on them."Otherwise, we will lose many many jobs and businesses will close."
