- Seanad: Water Fluoridation: Motion (30 Jan 2013)
David Norris: -----is where he spoke about dissociation. The Minister of State said that when added to water in the correct amount, the acid dissociates or separates completely.

Drinking water fluoridation is not allowed in Sweden because new scientific changes have not shown that it should be. The Supreme...
