The Government will add more dogs to the dangerous dogs list if necessary following an attack on a young Wexford child last month.
Alejandro Mizsan was playing on a green area of the Old Forge Road estate in Enniscorthy, Wexford on November 27 when he was attacked by an unmuzzled pit bull.
The nine-year-old underwent extensive surgery as his face was ripped apart, with his bottom lip and each of his cheeks torn off, with extensive damage near his left eye. He also suffered serious leg injuries in the attack.
