EXPLANATORY NOTE.
(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)
The purpose of these Regulations is to transpose into Irish law Directive 2001/42/EC of 27 June 2001 (O.J.

The Regulations relate to consideration of the likely significant effects on the environment of a development plan, a variation of a development plan, a local area plan (or an amendment thereto), regional planning guidelines or a planning scheme in respect of a strategic development zone.
The Regulations shall come into operation on 21 July 2004.
