Consolidated Legislation
We have prepared informal consolidated versions of some key environmental legislation.
These are published here subject to the understanding that we do not warrant that they are comprehensive. There is a possibility that we may have missed some amendments, and accordingly any person proposing to rely on these consolidations does so at his / her own risk. Before taking any action, we strongly recommend that you check the Irish Statute Book www.irishstatutebook.ie to verify the amendments are correct and to check for any additional changes. We regret that we can accept no liability for any reliance placed on these documents: they are published to assist those attempting to negotiate what the Supreme Court has referred to as “the statutory maze” in which even the most experienced can sometimes get lost.
