Let us ensure the anti-fluoridation lobby is heard. That is all I am asking.

Thank you Brian for introducing the debate on repealing this Bill. Now that Irish citizens are being forced to pay even more for every drop of water we drink, we should not be forced to ingest fluoride if we don't want to. I have read all of the above with interest and as there is so much selective evidence and no agreement on what is conclusive, I fully agree that "If in doubt, leave it out".
I never drink Irish tap water because of the fluoride in it and I am appalled that Mr White thinks that Irish citizens do not deserve a choice to determine their own health with regard to such a basic amenity such as drinking water.
