Backed by the Irish Echo and the Ancient Order of Hibernians in the US, a petition pushing for the appointment has already won support from some of the most influential figures in Irish America.
Now Assemblyman Mike Cusick, President of the bipartisan Society which includes members from both the Assembly and Senate in Albany, has written to President Biden stressing that a Special Envoy could help ensure the peace gains over two decades are not lost.
