Why giant hogweed is a problem in Wexford
On Wexford 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 Wexford, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Slaney and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Wexford Harbour and Curracloe, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Rosslare and Enniscorthy, are where we most often find established stands.
