Why giant hogweed is a problem in Tallaght
On Tallaght 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 Tallaght, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Dodder and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Sean Walsh Park and Dublin Mountains, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Firhouse and Jobstown, are where we most often find established stands.
