How will Brexit impact your trade with NI?

OK I grant that will not go down well with those who want independence. What do they expect when/if they get it? Do they expect the EU to welcome them with open arms? If they do they'll be sorely disappointed. Scotland would have to apply like any other european country, it would take years. They'd also have to get a bank to guarantee their currency as well as many other hurdles.
