Written Answers. - Fluosilicic Acid.
, Limerick East): I assume the Deputy is referring to hydrofluosilicic acid, otherwise known as fluosilicic acid.
Hydrofluosilicic acid is one form in which fluoride/s are available. Others include sodium fluoride and sodium-silico fluoride. All are obtained either as (a) primary products only or as (b) byproducts of the fertiliser industry.
