Help us hold power to account
The Journal invests time, expertise and passion in long-form investigative journalism. Our work has led to changes in legislation and State policy. We’ve sought and received apologies for wrongdoing against vulnerable sections of Irish society. We’ve even won awards for it.
If you want to join us on our mission to keep pressure on the powerful, we would massively appreciate your support.

You are here because you have noticed some of our most valuable work.
The Journal Investigates team goes beyond breaking news to
explore, expose and explain the inner workings of modern Ireland.
We are interested in what is happening behind the scenes of the latest
political speech. We want to expose illegal activity that harms our environment,
our health, our safety and our potential to thrive as a society and as individuals.
To do this, our reporters and editors spend hours sifting through thousands of
documents to spot contradictions and mistakes. We knock on doors and send repeated
requests for interviews to expose a falsehood. We listen at kitchen tables, in
fields, on the phone. We hear the stories of people who are normally unheard and
silenced.
This kind of work takes time and it takes resources.
We want to continue this work so you can benefit from the results. We want to tell
the story of corruption and injustice, but also discover the successes and
innovations that can drive change in this State. We want to tell these stories in
ever more inventive ways so they can reach as many people as possible.
To do this, it is vital that you support wherever you can.
