48-year-old high-profile loyalist Winston 'Winkie' Irvine will stand trial for possessing guns and ammunition in his car, despite claims of being a "trusted interlocutor" in Northern Ireland's peace process. The case began in June 2022 when police discovered firearms, ammunition, and UVF-related items in both Irvine's car and his home. He and co-defendant Robin Workman face charges related to the weapons' possession.
