Yeah, that seems to be what's happening. It seems some items are taxed twice because NI is part of the European single market in accordance with the Good Friday Agreement. So, some items are taxed as if they are entering Ireland, then taxed again because they are entering the UK. Many items are also required to be checked coming in from the rest of the UK for the same reason. Loyalists are apparently angry because they feel they are being abandoned and mistreated by the British government. On top of that, the new census results are very likely to show, for the first time, a catholic majority, which has a lot of the unionist side worried. It seems the only viable long term option is for NI to finally unite with Ireland and become full EU members.

EDIT: This seems to be a good overview of what's happening.
