The Irish Expert Body on Fluorides and Health has published three reports:

Action Plan (2005)

Progress Report 2004 – 2008 (2009)

Code of Practice on the Fluoridation of Drinking Water (2007)

In May 2008, the Expert Body commissioned an audit of all water treatment plants nationally to assess compliance with the Code of Practice on the Fluoridation of Drinking Water (2007). The audit report will be published shortly.

The published reports and a range of information, including details of its membership and position statements, are available on its website, www.fluoridesandhealth.ie.
