Question:605 Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Health his plans to instruct local authorities to cease the fluoridation of drinking water until the Department of Health and his Department can be sure of the implications of this measure, particularly in view of the recommendations and findings of a number of reports including that by environmental scientist, Declan Waugh, outlining the human health risks, environmental impacts and legal implications of water fluoridation and the fact that no human health risk or environmental assessments have been undertaken on the commercial grades of silicofluorides used in water treatment in the State.
