It is a matter of deep regret for the Government that the people of Iraq have suffered such terrible hardship as a result of their government’s deliberate and persistent violation of successive UN Security Council Resolutions aimed at preserving international peace and security.
In every way open to it, Ireland has worked to ensure that UN sanctions are administered in such a way as to ensure that the humanitarian and long-term economic interests of the people of Iraq are secured, while ensuring that the necessary controls are in place to prevent Iraq from developing weapons of mass destruction.
During its term on the Security Council, Ireland was active in developing Resolution 1409, which was adopted in May 2002 and seeks to target sanctions against the Iraqi regime while minimising the impact of those sanctions on the civilian population.

The plaintiff has no legal right to a supply of piped water and the Act of 1960 does not impose any obligation on her or on the members of her family to drink or use the water coming through the piped water supply.
True that water to-day is a necessity of life and that the plaintiff probably has a right of access to a supply of water, but this does not give her a right to a supply of water which has not been fluoridated through the piped water supply.
His objection to the use of fluoride ion in the water supply was that he thought that there was a connection, in the Union of South Africa at least, between the presence of the fluoride ion in water and a high incidence of goitre.

 Competing Money Supplies, by Lawrence H. White: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
They attribute significant inefficiency and instability in the financial system to the legal restrictions on private banks and to poor central bank policy, and they view competition as a potential means for compelling the suppliers of money to be more responsive to the demands of money users.
A few monetary theorists, beginning with Benjamin Klein of UCLA and Friedrich Hayek, have contemplated private competition in the supply of nonredeemable "fiat" monies.
Advocates of currency competition, whose ranks have included former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, are concerned that such a central bank could be very inflationary.

 Minister Martin's "Fluoride Fiasco"
The forum was set up "to review the fluoridation of public piped water supplies" and to investigate the growing public concerns of health damage from fluoride.
Back in May, Eamon Gilmore, T.D., (Labour Party Spokesperson on the Environment) warned the minister, "Pending the outcome of this forum, there should be an embargo on the fluoridation of any new water schemes which may come on stream in the interim".
Due to the pro-fluoride bias membership, the Minister's misinformation in the Dail and the continued forced fluoridation of Ireland's towns and villages we will not involve ourselves in this cynical political ploy.

While Ireland was a heavy catholic country, it was no more catholic than any other in which one religion accounted for 90%+ of adherents.
However, at the time and in the emotions of the moment, it lowered the respect for him held by people in combatant countries, who did not aways fully appreciate the points and who were also influenced by indignation at his official and diplomatically proper condolences on the death of Hitler.
