The impact for UK in terms of % of GDP is 11.9% for import and 7.1% for exports. For reference the most impacted EU27 state as a % of GDP - RoI the numbers are at 9% for imports and 6.9% for exports.
And this is only goods, ignoring Services, where the disparity is much greater.
But keep dreaming the UK will be less affected than any individual EU27 stateComment

There is another economic crisis coming, you can smell it on the wind. IMHO the Eurozone are really going to struggle, because of a toxic combination of inertia, rigidity, and ironically a lack of fiscal integration. I wish you luck, I really do.Comment

The Central Bank's Chief Economist has told an Oireachtas committee that Ireland stands out as the EU economy likely to be most affected by Brexit.
Gabriel Fagan told the Special Select Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union that Ireland was more reliant on UK export markets that any other EU country.
He added that certain sectors - agri-food; materials manufacturing and tourism - rely more upon UK markets than others.
Mr Fagan said the overall impact of Brexit of the Irish economy is uncertain, and depends on the nature of any new trade agreement.
In the event of a hard Brexit with no UK-EU trade agreement, Mr Fagan said GDP would fall by 3%.Comment
