    Why ragwort is a problem in Wexford

    On Wexford properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. In Wexford, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Slaney and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Wexford Harbour and Curracloe, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Rosslare and Enniscorthy, are where we most often find established stands.
