    Why floating pennywort is a problem in Shannon

    On Shannon properties, floating pennywort grows up to twenty centimetres a day, choking ponds, ditches and slow water and blocking drainage and angling access. In Shannon, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Shannon Estuary and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Bunratty Castle and Shannon Airport, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Bunratty and Sixmilebridge, are where we most often find established stands.
