Why giant hogweed is a problem in Mullingar
On Mullingar 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 Mullingar, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Royal Canal and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Lough Owel and Belvedere House, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Multyfarnham and Rochfortbridge, are where we most often find established stands.
