Northern Ireland and the Brave New World of Brexit

This policy paper is part of an extended research project examining the impact upon Northern Ireland of the UK’s changing relationship with Europe. With October 2017 witnessing the beginning of consideration of amendments to the EU Withdrawal Bill and the culmination of efforts to address aspects of Brexit affecting the island of Ireland in Phase 1 of the UK’s withdrawal negotiations this paper is intended to focus on some of the emerging issues for Northern Ireland as the contours of Brexit become increasingly defined.
