The Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004 were introduced on 1 January 2005 to give individuals right of access to environmental data held by local authorities and private bodies who carry out a public function.
Examples of environmental records are of land use, waste, energy, pollution, refuse, waste management, etc.
