“On Sunday it will be confirmed that Northern Ireland has got a border in the Irish Sea,” Mr Wilson told the BBC Good Morning Ulster programme. “That has implications for the goods which come into Northern Ireland, the cost of those goods, the cost of transporting them, the variety of goods which will be available, so consumers will feel that impact.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Thursday that the agreement of the framework removed the major stumbling block to the return of the Stormont Assembly.He said: “From Sunday there will be impediments to trade coming into Northern Ireland. “There should have been a £40 million six-acre border checkpoint built in the Port of Larne by now, the DUP minister was able to stop that because he refused to give permission for it.
On Thursday, Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O’Neill said patience had run out with the DUP blockade of the Assembly.The new framework rules will also see Northern Ireland retailers having to display “Not for EU” labelling on food products in store.
