UK Government extends appointment of Special Envoy to the US on Northern Ireland
The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, the Rt. Hon. Brandon Lewis CBE MP, has today announced the extension of Trevor Ringland's appointment as Special Envoy to the United States on Northern Ireland. Mr Ringland's appointment has been extended to 31 October 2022.
The appointment of the Special Envoy to the United States on Northern Ireland was announced in June 2021. Due to the global pandemic, Mr Ringland’s work in the US was unable to formally commence until October 2021.
The Secretary of State has therefore decided to extend the position for a short period, until the end of October 2022.
Mr Ringland will continue to be responsible for promoting Northern Ireland interests across the US, supporting the Government’s vision for Northern Ireland as an excellent place to live, work and do business.
