Ireland and the United Kingdom do not have access to Article 26D (former 96) data because these countries operate a Common Travel Area and do not intend to remove the border controls between themselves and the rest of Europe. European citizens still have the right of free movement to the UK and Ireland but must pass through a border control point, unlike the other Schengen signatory countries, among whom internal border controls have been largely abolished. Since 1 August 2018, Bulgaria and Romania have full access to SIS; before that they had access to SIS only for law enforcement purposes. Croatia has access to SIS for law enforcement purposes, while Cyprus does not have any access. Ireland joins the law enforcement aspect on 1 January 2021 and will have "full operational capacity" from March 2021.
