Clonakilty becomes second ‘fluoride-free town’

Clonakilty in West Cork has become the second Irish town to declare itself "fluoride-free".

Seven local businesses — Fernhill House Hotel, The Lettercollum Kitchen Project, The Winery, Betty Brosnans, Coffee Mezzo, Jagged Edge and The Sticky Bun — have all installed reverse osmosis water filtration systems to assure their customers that all food and beverage products prepared on site are fluoride-free.

Con McLoughlin and Karen Austin run The Lettercollum Kitchen Project and are well-known in West Cork food circles for their organic produce.
