Traders at Newry Market have spoken of their despair at the dwindling customer numbers and interest in the city's market.
"The unfortunate thing is there's a lot of shops, restaurants and cafes in trouble now with the cost of doing business so you could end up with a lot of them closing. "One of the problems is that when some of the older traders retire or some die even, there's no young people really coming into the industry replacing them.
"It's unbelievable the change I've seen in here the past 40 years, you couldn't move in here, you wouldn't have got a stall in here for starters," he said. "There's young people that come in and they'll be buying something and they ask how long it's been here and they can't believe it when I say about 100 years.
"When I started here in the 80s, the place was packed and you would have been reloading the stall five or six times a day.He conceded that there were other factors that stall owners were being forced to contend with as well. Raymond Jackson has been trading at the market for the past 12 years, but said recent times had made for tough going.
