377. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if it is the policy of his Department that all public water schemes are fluoridated; if not, the schemes that have fluoridation and those that do not, respectively; the total cost of fluoridating water; the amount of this cost borne by the Exchequer by way of grant to Uisce Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have no function in relation to the matter raised in the Question. The Irish Expert Group on Fluorides and Health, which operates under the aegis of the Department of Health, advises on matters relating to water fluoridation. As such this Question is more appropriate for reply by the Minister for Health.
