Fluoridation of water
Senator Keane supports a debate with the Minister on water fluoridation and asks that the relevant Oireachtas committee consider published surveys and local-government concerns.
I will stick strictly to the Order of Business because this seems to be a disorderly Order of Business.

It was an issue I raised after my first month in the Seanad and it is not getting any better. That is what I will say about the Order of Business.

One will never take the múinteoir out of the Senator.

I do. I support Senator Michael Mulllins's call for a debate on the fluoridation of water and the surveys published on the matter. As Fine Gael spokesperson on the environment, I raised this issue with the Joint Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht because many in local government have done so, not only this year but over the years. It is an important subject. That committee forwarded the matter to the Joint Committee on Health and Children. Senator Mullins asked the Leader to have a debate with the Minister in this House. Will the Leader ask the Chairman of the Joint Committee on Health and Children what the committee has done with that report since it was forward to it from the Joint Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht?
