Review of fluoride use in water to be completed by Christmas

It emerged yesterday that Bantry in West Cork is the latest town to call for a ban on fluoride in the water supply, following the unanimous passing of a motion by Cork County Council on Monday asking for the removal of fluoride from public water.
The Irish Examiner yesterday revealed that Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney had told a meeting of Fine Gael councillors that an international group of consultants is to be appointed by the Government to examine the use of fluoride in the public water supply.
