Why giant hogweed is a problem in Dundalk
On Dundalk 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 Dundalk, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Castletown River and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Dundalk Bay and Cooley Peninsula, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Blackrock and Carlingford, are where we most often find established stands.
