In light of the recent XL Bully Ban in Ireland, we wanted to provide information about how you can contact your politicians to share your feedback with them.
Since October 1st 2024 () it is illegal to rehome, sell, supply or breed XL Bullies. This is the first breed to be added to such a list, and others may follow. While they may not be the dog for everyone, we respect people's rights to chose one if they so wish. We recommend you fill out this form and email Minister Humphreys & DRCD (Department of Rural and Community Development).
