Costs of Brexit will affect the South and Northern Ireland

Both the UK and the Republic of Ireland joined the European common market in 1973. 80 percent of Irish exports transits through Britain. But with the UK formally leaving the EU on Friday, many in Ireland are still in the dark on how it'll affect businesses. There's talk of the 'Irish Protocol', but no one seems to know if that means checks and tariffs on goods moving from the UK into Northern Ireland.
