Usage Note

Irrilevante means having no significance or effect on the matter at hand. It is a formal or semi-formal adjective common in legal, journalistic, and academic Italian. In everyday speech non importa or non conta tend to be preferred; using irrilevante in casual conversation can sound dismissive or overly bureaucratic.
