Minister Humphreys considers banning certain restricted dog breeds in Ireland after a fatal dog attack.

Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys, said Ireland may ban certain restricted dog breeds if a reviewing dog control group recommends the move. The decision comes after a 23-year-old woman was killed in a dog attack in Limerick, and the animal involved was an XL bully breed. The cross-governmental stakeholder group has been examining the issue of restricted breeds in Ireland, and Humphreys will take any recommendations made by the group into account.
