Why ragwort is a problem in Ballinasloe
On Ballinasloe properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. In Ballinasloe, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Suck and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Garbally Park and Shannon Callows, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Ahascragh and Aughrim, are where we most often find established stands.
