The UK and Northern Ireland are scheduled to leave the EU on March 29, 2019. Under a transition agreement all trade and economic relations between the UK and the EU will remain the same until the end of 2022. In 2018 members of parliament and Prime Minister Theresa May proposed a “backstop” which would allow the UK and Northern Ireland to remain inside the EU’s single market for goods and farm products. Proponents argue that keeping the UK in the EU’s customers area will boost the economy by streamlining trade and tourism. Opponents, including anti-EU lawmakers, argue that the backstop would lock the UK inside the EU’s customs area permanently and prevent it from signing trade deals on its own.

They chose Brexit. However, Brexit can cause issues with receiving goods into Ireland. Custom charges into Ireland can be very high. Maybe a deal that would not be taken advantage of by Britain could be put in place by Ireland in order to make it easier for the Irish people to access goods without paying extra on top of everything. If custom charges are in place, always let the person know the exact amount before purchase.
Northern Ireland should at least remain as it would create a situation that endangers the Good Friday Agreement and could cause conflict
