You’ve probably already familiar with the anthropomorphic, clobbered pooch oeuvre of photographer William Wegman.

Here, he elaborates to Great Big Story on a career that started with pictures of his Weimariner pup Man Ray in the 1970s and led to countless adorable photoshoots, beloved Sesame Street vignettes and a props room most theatres would be proud of.

UPDATE:

RTE reports:

The National Emergency Coordination Committee has asked everybody in Munster and Leinster to be indoors by 4pm tomorrow and to stay there until midday on Friday.

It comes as Met Éireann issued a fresh red weather alert for Munster and Leinster for tomorrow afternoon through to Friday afternoon, warning of significant snow drifts in many areas.

It said: “Blizzard-like conditions will develop in heavy snow and strong easterly winds on Thursday evening and will continue Thursday night and Friday morning.”

All schools and third level institutions will close across the two provinces.

All Dublin Bus services will be cancelled tomorrow and Friday. Iarnród Éireann will stop services nationally from 2pm tomorrow and there will be limited Luas and DART services.

UPDATE:

This morning.

In The Irish Times.

Deirdre Falvey reports:

The author of a report into allegations of inappropriate behaviour and abuse of power by the Gate Theatre’s former artistic director, Michael Colgan, has expressed disappointment it was not released in full.

Gaye Cunningham said she was “a bit surprised” the theatre did not release the review in full. The report describes behaviours, not specific incidents, according to the workplace relations expert.

…Ms Cunningham heard 56 people’s testimony and delivered the review to the board of the Gate this month.

…Ms Cunningham said that while she had hoped the board would be in a position to release the full report, it was not in her remit to decide what was published.

“I don’t want people to feel I let them down,” she said. “I didn’t promise publication. I didn’t have the authority to make that decision. I conducted the review in good faith.”
