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