Episode 1006: Winston ‘Winkie’ Irvine - peacekeeper by day, UVF gun runner by night
15 May 2025
A former paramilitary who has made a career in community service and is hailed as a modern-day poster boy for the loyalist community is caught with firearms and will be sentenced before Belfast courts this week. Now, questions prevail over Winston ‘Winkie’ Irvine and the support and funding he has received from Government bodies over the years. Nicola speaks with Allison Morris about the gunman turned gatekeeper who has worked a gravy train of funding to create a smokescreen around his true activities. Hosted on Acast.
