What happens immediately?
Free trade between the EU and U.K. ends at midnight on March 29, 2019 and both sides fall back on World Trade Organization tariffs.
The combination of such tariff barriers with delays created by new customs checks risks having a severe impact on food supplies and other goods that the U.K. imports from the EU.
Within hours to a few days, the additional costs of tariffs and delays will likely create problems for companies, supply chains and retailers that depend on goods traded with the EU27 with impacts on almost every sector of the economy.
Prices in shops inevitably rise as a result."

Worst-case there is nearly 10% of Irish GDP disappearing.
There's a reason I'm more than halfway convinced that Trump was only the stupidest 2016 election result in North America and not the international champion. Voting for Brexit with no idea what that entailed was utterly disastrous.

Especially if we crash out without a deal, and become solely dependent on WTF, I mean WTO, rules. Almost *all* countries nowadays are in some form of trading organization.
