Well having thought long and hard I decided to appeal to the more lovable side of Ross. Here is my letter to my friend in Cork.
Irish Water
PO Box860

Delivery Office

10th March 2014
Irish Water Reference No: 8315207755
Dear Ross,
Before we get into the nitty-gritty could you tell me why my Irish Water Reference No. keeps changing with every letter, it’s confusing me.
Your second letter to an extent addresses my concerns but does not alter my thoughts on the matter. A smart meter is one that emits electro-magnetic radiation, 24/7. Your meters do this therefore they are smart meters. Your inspector agreed with me that they were in fact smart meters. Safety standards means nothing to me, history is littered with safety standards that were wrong and had to be altered.
I am now glad that you agree with me that Irish Water is responsible for Irish water and is not just a metering programme as you suggested in your letter of 27th March 2014. I am now also glad that you understand the difficulties we people have had and will continue to have with our drinking water. This problem seems eternal but I do accept your company is giving some thought to the situation and while I understand that you are required to provide “wholesome and clean” water to your customers that service needs paying for but I am afraid that your use of smart meters and fluoridation of water is never going to provide “wholesome and clean” water.
In your position as Complaints and Escalations Manager you have obviously proved to somebody that you are not stupid, so please understand neither am I. To quote me European Directives that are 16 years old when water science has come on in leaps and bounds over that period is treating me with some disrespect, especially when we both know Ireland is the only country in Europe with a mandatory fluoridation policy. All the rest of the countries have eschewed the idea long ago, leaving Ireland playing catch-up as it always seems to do.
You also know just like I know that to set limits on the amount of fluoride a person can be subjected to is an impossibility. 95% of the toothpastes on the market are now dosed with fluoride and lots of other dental health products also. So please do not quote meaningless rubbish to me. We also both know fluoride is a poison, it is on the HSE list of poisons and we both know that the amounts ingested individually cannot be controlled. Therefore Irish Water’s aim in continuing to infuse drinking water with a known poison can only be described as a form of eugenics but if you do not accept that, it is definitely not ethical.
What I always look for in my dealings with companies is their ethical approach to business, so please ally your company with Cork County Council and pressurise this present government into getting up to the mark with this problem. Your work will be made easy because I understand Simon Coveney TD, one of your local politicians is doing some good work in this regard.
So Ross start looking at the bigger picture, make a name for yourself in this burgeoning and new company of yours, become the man they will talk about in history classes of generations to come, escalate my complaint. Rid Ireland of this pestilent fluoride dosage. If nothing else, think of your family and the harm this poison and electro-magnetic radiation can and is doing to them and please do not deliver clap-trap to me in future. We are both mature, intelligent human beings.
Yours sincerely,
Paul Malpas
