The Irish Times is Ireland’s leading source of independent, trusted news. We are owned not by a media baron or a global conglomerate but by a Trust whose sole objective is to secure our financial and editorial independence. Our reporters work to hold the powerful to account, expose wrongdoing and give a voice to those who go unheard.
Some of our most important stories come from confidential tips provided by knowledgeable sources. If you have information that you believe is significant and in the public interest, you can share it with us through the channels below. You will be treated as a confidential journalistic source.
When contacting us, please be concise and specific. If you can provide documents or other materials to substantiate your tip, that will help us pursue the story.
Phone/ WhatsApp
Call or message us at +353 86 8274493. WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption by default on messages. It also allows messages, including voice notes, to self-destruct after a set amount of time.
Write to us at tips@irishtimes.com. Email is not a secure medium, but you can take steps to make your correspondence harder to trace by, for example, creating a new email address solely for contact with The Irish Times or using a computer that cannot be linked to you.
Signal
Signal is a free encrypted messaging app that enables you to send messages, photos, videos and some small files. Signal does not retain any metadata. Contact us at +353 86 8274493.
Post
Send us a letter or parcel. For extra security, use a public postbox rather than a post office and do not put your return address on the outside of the envelope.
