It features a combination system, rare for a parish organ and very useful for repertoire and liturgy. The finished instrument is a powerful, free-standing organ, unique and one of the finest two-manuals in Dublin, at least. In 2017/18 the organ went under major refurbishment carried out by the Wells

proceeds added to the restoration fund. In the present economic climate the select vestry decided on a low-key approach to fund raising.
