Bridging the honours gap

Sir, – Further to Mary Mulvihill's article on William Rowan Hamilton ("Where's the bridge for our greatest scientists?", (Science, May 8th), in which she writes that there is not a building named after the great man, in fact there is one – a splendid sheltered housing complex in Cabra, in which I have lived for the past nine years. Not a bad memorial, I think. – Yours, etc,

TERENCE ORR,

Rowan Hamilton Court,

Dunmanus Road,

Cabra,

Dublin 7.
