1. Every single tree on the grounds of St Mary’s Orthopaedic, a public health campus on the North Side of Cork City, sprayed with cancer causing forever chemical #glyphosate, way more harmful than cigarette smoke. Nice job @corkcitycouncil Just. wrap. your. heads. around. this.
2. Instantly fatal to pollinators, absorbed into amphibians’ skin causing an agonising toxin attack & death. Makes our dogs sick & is often the cause of cancer in dogs that are exposed to it in our parks & paths. Council workers who spray it even wear heavy duty respirator masks.
RoundUp doesn’t break down. It lingers in our soils & seeps into rivers causing all sorts of biological & environmental damage. I even remember being told not to play by a tree with a burnt orange medallion around it by a teacher when I was in Primary School ages ago. #cork
4. It’s a criminal waste of taxpayers’ money. @TDrisheen recently wrote an informative piece on it. @HSELive I believe you are aware & unhappy about this being sprayed in hospitals & outside oncology departments. @Ted_Tynan_WP @MickBarryTD Children play here. See fairy doors. ImageImage
Edit. I don't know who maintains these grounds. Whether it's the Roads Dept or contractors paid for by the HSE. There is a popular public walkway around the perimeter. RoundUp is sprayed in St Finbarr's too. Either way it's bad form.
