I haven't seen anything authoritative that says more than two years from when Article 15 is invoked (give or take a couple of months). Granted, it may depend on the definition of 'unwrangle' - there could be issues to be addressed that could drag on after the formal exit process is completed.

Yeah, the situation in NI is obviously a lot more complicated. I did see an item on the news less than an hour ago that there has been a rush of people from Northern Ireland applying for Republic passports. I suspect some people in the NI Assembly will be watching what happens in Edinburgh over the weeks and months that follow.
