The chief of Northern Ireland’s biggest manufacturer backed Theresa May’s Brexit plan, providing a boost for the embattled premier from a part of the U.K. where opposition to the deal with the European Union could derail the accord.
Michael Ryan, the head of Bombardier Inc.’s Belfast plane plant, said in an interview Wednesday that the so-called backstop laid out in the deal is a workable arrangement that he could live with if necessary, and infinitely preferable to a no-deal split.
