2005 is the bicentenary of the birth of William Rowan Hamilton, Ireland's eminent scientist and the discoverer of quaternions. The Tanaiste, Ms Mary Harney TD has agreed that 2005 will be designated 'Hamilton Year 2005: Celebrating Irish Science'. The Royal Irish Academy and the Institute of Physics in Ireland will promote a year-long series of events to highlight Irish scientific achievement and the stimulating and rewarding possibilities for those who choose a life in science. Events proposed include a series of `TV' documentaries on Irish Scientists with an accompanying poster campaign, physics information and facts on sporting programmes and interactive demonstrations touring the universities. Collaborations and shared programmes with other events and festivals in Ireland are also planned.
