Why ragwort is a problem in Mullingar
On Mullingar properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. 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.
