A Sinn Féin candidate for the Dublin Central by-election walked back earlier claims made in 2014 about alleged risks from fluoride in the public water system. During a council debate after a Sinn Féin motion to end water fluoridation in Ireland, councillor Janice Boylan described a family member who underwent two dental extractions. She attributed the extractions to the presence of fluoride in the public water system. The candidate’s later position contrasts with the earlier assertions about fluoride-related harm. The issue centers on whether water fluoridation should be ended and how fluoride exposure relates to dental outcomes.
