The material safety data sheet for fluorosilicic acid, as requested by the Deputy, is available on the fluorosilicic acid supplier's website: http://www.chemifloc.ie/msds/MSDS

The Deputy's question about the cost of water fluoridation in 2006 relates to the funding, management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
