When writing a report, "relevant" details are those that are important to understanding the story or details that help to make your point more clear to the reader. Irrelevant details just confuse the reader, add nothing to your main point, and take you off on a tangent rather than sticking to the main subject. So, if I were writing an essay about why I believe the president did the right thing when he made a certain decision, I would focus on facts that prove my point-- facts that show why the president made that decision and why I agree and why other important people also agree. Those would be relevant facts. But if I started telling you about where I live and who my husband is and where we go to vote, those are irrelevant facts because they have nothing to do with the points I am trying to make in my essay.
