A strict ban comes into force next month banning the breed unless the owner has an exemption cert.
It's estimated there are thousands of XL bullies in Ireland.
The highest number of applications was made to Kildare County Council, with 19 applications to keep an XL bully, according to the Irish Times.
This was followed by 12 in Fingal, 9 in Meath and none in Galway City and Westmeath.
Last year, Kfm spoke to My Lovely Horse, who condemned the banning of the breed.
