"Attack took place in woman's home The woman is understood to have been attacked shortly after 2pm in her home in Carlow town. It's understood the woman owned two dogs - one of which turned on her. Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene which has been preserved to allow for a technical examination. The woman has been removed for emergency medical treatment in hospital."
"In order to deal with the safety issue, strict controls were introduced to ensure the breed would be controlled and eventually die out. Fingal in Dublin, Limerick, Louth, and Cork county had the most XL Bully dogs put down in the last year. In October last year, when the new legislation was announced, the importing, breeding, selling and re-homing of the dogs was banned, and owners were given time to apply for certificates of exemption for pets they already owned."
A woman in Carlow was attacked shortly after 2pm in her home; one of her two dogs reportedly turned on her. Gardaí and emergency services attended and preserved the scene. The woman was taken to hospital for treatment. New figures show 73 XL Bully dogs have been put down nationwide since the breed ban began last February. The XL Bully became controversial after multiple attacks, prompting seizures and dogs being put down. Strict controls were introduced to phase out the breed. Fingal, Limerick, Louth and Cork recorded the most put-downs. New legislation banned import, breeding, sale and rehoming; owners could apply for exemption certificates.
