Sorry Molly, but Yes!!
For UK - Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Great Britain .
It is an offence to own or keep any of the below types of dog:
the Pit Bull Terrier
the Japanese tosa
the Dogo Argentino
the Fila Brasileiro
Please look:
http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/welfare/domestic/dogs.htm
It is important to note that, in the UK, dangerous dogs are classified by “type”, not by breed label. This means that whether a dog is considered dangerous, and therefore prohibited, will depend on a judgment about its physical characteristics, and whether they match the description of a prohibited 'type'. This assessment of the physical characteristics is made by a court.
Sorry.... Jason Homan

It is probably illegal in Northern Ireland, but not in Sourthern Ireland. Though that is just my guess
