schema:articleBody	Community tensions are running high in Northern Ireland because of new post-Brexit trade arrangements, the province's most senior police officer said on Thursday. Police Service of Northern Ireland chief constable Simon Byrne said his subordinate charged with overseeing Brexit was "recognising there does feel to be a febrile atmosphere at the moment". Byrne's comment came after the EU and regional agriculture ministry this week pulled staff from Belfast and Larne ports after graffiti branded border staff manning post-Brexit checks "targets". Police patrols were stepped up as lorries arriving on ferries from mainland Britain were waved past new checkpoints agreed between London and Brussels as a result of the divorce. Byrne told the Northern Ireland Policing Board that officers "are keeping a really careful eye on community sentiment". "We'll be running that for the foreseeable future, until we're confident that... things feel a little calmer than they do at the moment," he said. The "Northern Ireland Protocol", a special set of post-Brexit trade rules for the UK territory, was activated on January 1 -- when the Brexit transition period ended and the full effects of the split were felt. Under the deal, Northern Ireland effectively remains in the EU customs union and single market for goods, meaning checks are required on freight arriving from England, Scotland and Wales. The arrangements avoid building infrastructure along the border between Northern Ireland and EU member the Republic of Ireland -- a flashpoint in a 30-year sectarian conflict that ended in 1998. However there is resentment of the protocol amongst unionists in the divided province, who feel new checks warp their constitutional status by severing ties to mainland Britain. The situation was soured last Friday, when after arguing for years the protocol was necessary and inalterable, the EU threatened to unilaterally override parts of it in a coronavirus vaccine row. Brussels quickly backtracked on the threat, now widely considered a diplomatic bungle. But Byrne said after the vaccine row the security situation "quickly accelerated", culminating in port staff being removed on Monday and Tuesday. jts/phz/rl
