Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 November 2013
632. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Health the amount of money that has been given to the two companies that have been paid for the supply and delivery of hydrofluosilicic acid for the purpose of water fluoridation in the past five years; the names of the two companies that have been paid for the supply delivery; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48849/13]
View answerFurther to Parliamentary Question No. 1166 of 5th November 2013, I wish to confirm that one company has been paid for the supply and delivery of hydrofluosilicic acid and not two as previously advised. The hydrofluosilicic acid is sourced from Derivados del Fluor (DDF) in Spain and supplied and delivered by Chemifloc, a company based in Shannon, Co Clare. I apologise for the error which was brought to my attention after the previous reply had issued. The money spent over the last five years is as follows:
