The NI Protocol says that certain matters have to be decided by the Joint Committee. As the committee has only had 2 meetings and hasn't decided anything, what else is the UK expected to do? Anyway, why should the IRA dictate what GB can and cannot ship to NI? If it's not the IRA determining anything, how come people keep saying that "X threatens the peace process"? IE We have to do what the IRA is happy with or they will "kick off".
If the EU block UK exports to the EU, then that is Ireland well and truly stuffed.
Well they're the ones blocking everything, now and before.

In a worst case scenario there could be huge number of job losses and a drop in living standards due to a loss of trade in the weeks after Brexit.
But one of the first things the pubic might notice is an acute shortage of medicines within days after Britain crashes out of the EU.
Around 4,000 or 60-70% of medicines in Ireland come from or via the UK and the Government has confirmed this supply will be threatened by a no-deal Brexit.
To make matters worse many of these medicines have a very short shelf life and have special storage and transportation requirements which means they can’t be stockpiled.
There are also growing fears that there could be fuel shortages as most of the petrol and diesel we use here comes from the UK.
...
While it is unlikely anyone will actually go hungry after a hard Brexit there will almost certainly be shortages of some foods in a matter of days.
