Irish people are being poisoned, against their will, by the compulsory addition of fluoride to the national water supply. But a bill on the issue, put before the Dáil last week, was voted down by Fine Gael, Labour and Fianna Fáil. It looks like the only answer is through the courts...

If you weren’t already dubious about the link between democracy and parliamentary party politics, last week’s Dáil ‘vote’ on a bill to outlaw the dumping of hydrofluorosilicic acid into the public water supply may well have pushed you firmly into the sceptics’ camp.
