A dangerous Spanish bull dog is to be put on the list of restricted breeds in Ireland.
The move follows the recent attack which left a nine-year-old boy, Alejandro Mizsan, fighting for his life in Wexford.
Rural Affairs Minister Heather Humphries, who has responsibility for dog control, confirmed the Presa Canario breed is now on the dangerous dogs list and is the first of a number of "fighting" animals which are to be brought under control.
