Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 November 2013
154. Deputy Mary Mitchell O'Connor asked the Minister for Health the annual cost of the fluoridation of water supplies for the constituency of Dún Laoghaire and the four local authorities of Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47326/13]
View answerFluoridation costs are based on annual operational/maintenance charges and the supply and delivery of hydrofluosilicic acid, the chemical used in the fluoridation of public water supplies. As local authorities act as agents for the HSE in arranging fluoridation, I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy on this issue.
