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