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