Are there any museums or sites in Ireland honouring Lord Kelvin (William Thomson)?
I'm travelling to the Republic of Ireland and Scotland from Australia and wanted to visit a number of sites of scientific history.
One at the top of my list is Lord Kelvin. (He's important, apart from measuring temperature, because he invented the first analog computer).
I'm aware there is a display at the University of Glasgow. He appears to have a statue and a plaque in Belfast. He appears to have a marking at Westminster Abbey. In Glasgow he appears to have a memorial stone and a museum.
My question is Are there any museums or sites in Ireland honouring Lord Kelvin (William Thomson)?

Scotland, Ireland and England produced a lot of amazing people, and when you're coming from Australia you need to make the trip worth it
