Thylacosmilus 
 found as fossils in deposits dated from about 10 million to 3 million years ago (late Miocene to late Pliocene epoch) in Argentina, South America.

 To a remarkable degree, Thylacosmilus paralleled the evolution of felid sabre-toothed cats like Smilodon.
Thylacosmilus 
 Its killing method was to hold its prey, and make deep bites into the soft tissue driven by powerful neck muscles.
Thylacosmilus 
 The canine teeth were protected by a well-developed flange, or projecting edge, in the chin region of the lower jaw.
Thylacosmilus 
 The canines continued to grow during adult life, which they do not in marsupials or placental mammals.

 Thylacosmilus died out during the late Pliocene, whereas saber-toothed cats did not get to South America until the middle Pleistocene epoch.

Garda Síochána 
 According to Tom Garvin such a decision gave the new force a cultural ace: "the taboo on killing unarmed men and women who could not reasonably be seen as spies and informers."

Garda Síochána 
 In 2007 there was also some debate when a potential Sikh applicant of the Garda Reserve requested that he be allowed wear a turban in place of a standard uniform cap - Ultimately the provision was not made as it was stated that the force had the same uniform requirements for all members.

 The Kerry Babies case was one of the first public inquiries into mishandling of a Garda investigation.
Garda Síochána

Garda Síochána 
 In the 1990s and early 2000s there were a series of allegations, including suggestions of corrupt and dishonest policing in County Donegal.
Garda Síochána 
 The tribunal found that some gardaí based in County Donegal had invented a Provisional IRA informer, made bombs and claimed credit for locating them, and attempted to frame Raphoe publican Frank McBrearty Junior for murder– the latter case involving a €1.5m settlement with the State.
Garda Síochána 
 In a report to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the Morris Tribunal expressed grave concern about "organised insubordination" within the force that "proper discipline has been lost from Garda", suggesting that a few mischief-makers abused their positions within the Garda and used the disciplinary process to damage the force.
Garda Síochána 
 The tribunal also expressed concern that recruits were brought into an undisciplined culture that had the potential to do great damage in the longer term, and warned that a "terrible and costly" waste of talent would occur if the situation continued.
Garda Síochána 
 On 20 April 2000, members of the Emergency Response Unit shot dead, from behind, 27-year-old John Carthy at the end of a 25-hour siege as he left his home in Abbeylara, County Longford with a loaded shotgun in his hands.

Garda Síochána 
 The final report was expected within six months, but publication of the report was delayed until 20 July 2006.
Garda Síochána 
 The official findings of the tribunal were that Sgt Michael Jackson made 14 mistakes in his role as negotiator during the siege, and that he failed to make real efforts to achieve resolution during the armed stand-off.
Garda Síochána 
 It further stated however that Sgt Jackson was limited by lack of experience and resources (psychologists, solicitors, dogs).
Garda Síochána 
 The tribunal recommended that there be an urgent review of Garda command structures, and that the ERU be with stun guns and other non-lethal options, including "non-compliant firearms support police dogs".
Garda Síochána 
 The Barr tribunal also recommended a formal working arrangement between Gardaí and State psychologists, and improvements in Garda training (especially for the ERU in siege situations, including those with mental illness as a factor).
Garda Síochána 
 This included a recommendation that local Garda superintendents undergo refresher training for one week every year as scene commanders and a similar refresher course for ERU officers of the rank of inspector or superintendent.
Garda Síochána 
 Garda Commissioner Conroy, in a letter to the family of John Carthy, stated that the force was 'truly apologetic' for his death.
Garda Síochána 
 Former Superintendent Joe Shelley, whose failure to interview John Carthy was cited in the Barr Tribunal Report as "extraordinary", and who was also severely criticised in the Report of the Morris Tribunal into the controversial death of Richie Barron, was awarded a top-up bonus of €110,000 when he took early retirement in July 2005.
Garda Síochána 
 Mr Justice Morris described Shelley's probe as "prejudiced, tendentious, utterly negligent in the highest degree".
Garda Síochána 
 One of the first charges of serious misconduct against the force came from the handling of the Sallins Train Robbery in 1976.
Garda Síochána 
 This case eventually led to a serious miscarriage of justice and accusations that a "Heavy Gang" within the force intimidated and tortured accused.
Garda Síochána 
 In 2004, an RTÉ Prime Time documentary accused elements within the Garda of abusing their powers by physically assaulting people arrested.
