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