The design of the new organ was developed by the builders, Wells-Kennedy Partnership Ltd of Lisburn Co Antrim, from the original concept proposed in 1995 by the organ consultant to the Parish, Mr Peter Sweeney of Dublin.
The new organ replaces a one manual instrument of seven stops built by Cousans Sons & Co of Lincoln. This organ was built against the East wall of the North Transept Gallery, with the player facing East. This organ is now doing service in Knocktopher Abbey, Co Kilkenny.
After considerable discussion it was decided to build a gallery at the West End and the new organ was to be split on each side, Swell and Pedal South Side and Great and Pedal on the North Side. The view of the beautiful West window was not to be impeded in any way by the organ.
The first proposal for the organ case was fairly plain with simple mouldings and pipe shades, but on further consideration a more Classical case was decided upon. As the sketch shows, a more ornate case evolved employing decorative pipe shades and heavy cornices. A stopped façade creates movement with the 8' basses giving an air of grandeur and dominance. As can be seen, every effort has been made to respect the outline of the window, whilst at the same time achieving sufficient space to allow the construction of an instrument of adequate scale, both visually and tonally, for this lofty building.
The twin cases are constructed in African Walnut and were designed by Mr Christopher Gordon-Wells in consultation with the Dublin Architects, Richard Hurley & Associates, who designed the gallery and were responsible for the major refurbishment of the church interior.
