Sir, – In "Where's the bridge for our greatest scientists?", (Science, May 8th), Mary Mulvihill laments the lack of "a public statue, bridge or building honouring any of our scientists or mathematicians". There is a public park, however. In Abbeyside, Dungarvan, Co Waterford, Walton Park is dedicated to Noble Prize laureate Ernest Walton, who was born in Abbeyside and who went on to split the atom. – Yours, etc,
