This has led to some trading disruption since the end of the Brexit transition period on December 31. There have been complaints that many firms face huge red tape moving products into Northern Ireland from mainland Britain. The protocol instead moved the regulatory and customs border to the Irish Sea, with a series of checks, certifications, inspections and declarations now required on many goods being shipped into the region from Great Britain. The DUP leadership has rolled out a five-point plan in recent weeks aimed at frustrating the operation of the protocol. The move comes amid ongoing loyalist fury at new regulatory and customs processes required to bring goods into Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK.
Trade between Ireland and Britain is very small.
