This comprehensive textbook collects together all the statutes and regulations which impact on the environment in its widest sense. They range from the broad spectrum of environmental legislation to legislative provisions dealing with topics such as electricity, Dublin light rail and semi-state agencies. The text is clearly organised into sections, eg water, air and waste, and takes a chronological approach. The statutes or their relevant sections are reproduced in summary form, in clear language. This places the provisions of the legislation in their appropriate statutory context and enables understanding of both the contents of the legislation, and its relevance in the overall picture. * Numbered paragraphs and a comprehensive index ensure easy navigation of the legislation.
