As the United Kingdom prepares to leave the European Union on Friday, some are concerned about the impact on trade along the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, and potential conflicts.

Northern Ireland will leave the European Union along with the rest of the United Kingdom on Friday evening. But the Republic of Ireland to the south will remain part of the EU.

Now, Brexit threatens a re-hardening of that border more than 20 years after the historic 1998 peace deal, which said people could hold both U.K. and Irish citizenship and the North could later vote to join Ireland if it wished. “The challenge for many is -- is that not creating two borders, which would create a double burden, not just on business but on the society as a whole?” said civic activist Conor Houston.

But Niall McQuillan, the director of a steel business, is cautiously optimistic. He imports his product from around the world and sells it to the rest of the U.K. and Southern Ireland.
