I cant help but think you are wrong there dp. The NI economy is heavily reliant on the Southern economy and would be in for dire straits indeed if things across the boarder collapsed. Also, the last thing NI needs is it's populace nipping across the boarder for cheap stuff as that would hammer domestic demand... the bread and butter for any modern economy.
