It could paradoxically raise the case of some Leave supporting Irish republicans voting for the DUP and SNP voters voting for the Tories.

A majority of Northern Ireland MPs and MEPs support the Union and implementing Brexit.

The NI Assembly rejected special status in the EU.

Some 86% of all Northern Ireland sales are within Northern Ireland and Great Britain.
