Don't blame the dog, blame the owner. A dog has to be trained to be aggressive. Even a chihahua is aggressive if taught to be. A chihahua isn't strong enough to rip off your arm, whereas an XL Bully is. But an XL Bully trained correctly is harmless.

Limerick dog attack: What is an XL bully and how dangerous are they?

There are no banned breeds in Ireland but the type was made illegal in England and Wales last year after series of attacks
