Why giant hogweed is a problem in Blanchardstown
On Blanchardstown properties, giant hogweed sap causes severe phototoxic burns and long-term light sensitivity, which makes it a genuine safety issue on footpaths, riverbanks and school boundaries. In Blanchardstown, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Tolka and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Royal Canal and Tolka Valley Park, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Castleknock and Clonsilla, are where we most often find established stands.
