You can’t have an independent trade policy and not have a hard border in Ireland unless there are specific provisions for NI.” The uncertainty is already having a huge impact on companies in Northern Ireland. “So at a minimum, Brexit is making work short-term and tenuous.” One business owner based in Northern Ireland, who did not want to be named, said Brexit was already creating problems with trade. Mr Kelly said that the government’s advice to business in Northern Ireland was essentially “not to do anything”.
