On Jaunary 12, the Irish Times announced the short-list for the Irish Theatre Awards. You can see the full list here (scroll down about half the page for the nominees, though the article is also worth reading).

A couple of days later, Caomhan Keane on entertainment.ie wrote his reaction to the nominees, particularly talking about the people who were missing from the list.

And on the Theatre Forum website you can cast your vote and pick the nominations that you think the Irish Times judges should have included.
