Since the U.K. formally exited the EU in January 2020, firms have shifted their posture, rethinking the roads they take and the ports they use.
This has played out in the movement of goods like food, pharmaceuticals and manufacturing supplies over the two jurisdictions' land border, crossing road networks as well as on to ports for further travel.
"There's no catastrophic failures anywhere. There's no port lying idle, there's no road idle. Trade is happening and in large numbers," he added, referring to the current arrangement facilitated by the protocol. "With the impact of Covid and the lockdowns, it's very hard to unravel all that when you're comparing.

"Northern Irish companies are readily able to access those routes as well without having to drive to the east coast of Great Britain," Talbot said.
