Namaleaks is a project that seeks to uncover possible injustice and poor practice related to NAMA (National Asset Management Agency) and financial institutions in Ireland.
It is directed by Mick Wallace TD and the Namaleaks team includes Cormac Butler (financial consultant), Clare Daly TD, Frank McDonald (Irish Times journalist) and Julien Mercille (University College Dublin academic). It has been developed in collaboration with the Freedom of the Press Foundation and experts who work extensively with whistleblower Edward Snowden. They are world leaders in creating secure and anonymous systems for whistleblowers.
Its website urges people to get in touch if they have "relevant" information. "Whether you are an insider with confidential information, someone who has been evicted from your house unjustly, or know something else of relevance to the project, we would like to hear from you."
The website outlines several methods for people to get in touch with Namaleaks and send it documents. "However, please be aware that no system can ever fully guarantee your security (and anybody who says otherwise for any system is lying). Any method of communication always has at least a theoretical possibility of being hacked, even when conceived and used by experts like Snowden. We at Namaleaks will do everything in our power to protect your identity. Nevertheless, in some cases, the best way to protect your anonymity may be not to disclose your identity even to us"
