Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I have had unfortunate experience with hogweed. It grows readily along roadsides. While it is not regarded as a dangerous weed, I consider it extremely dangerous, particularly for people who have allergies. Will the Minister convey to his colleague, the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, the need to have that weed dealt with either by spraying or cutting it on a regular basis?
