    FFS, the likely outcome medium to long term is prosperity in such situations, not so for EU loving Ireland though, sorry about that.

    Oh ffs, let them eat Mozarella!
    How about "let them eat British cheddar instead of Irish cheddar"? The outlook is far worse for Irish dairy farmers than it is for British cheese consumers. Shame...

    It will cross the NI border tariff-free (well, tariff not paid) because the U.K. are not putting in border checks, and then just shipped across from NI to GB. Simples!
