The Honan Chapel, Cork
Organ Case in St. Marys RC Church, Youghal.
Its a Telford dating from 1857, and has the most amazing case, and sadly in need of an overhaul, which I believe is underway at the moment
St. Colman’s Church, Ballintotas, Midleton, Co. Cork
The Church of the Descent of the Holy Ghost, Dennehy’s Cross, Cork

Recent shot of the case in St Saviour’s Dublin. Instrument appears to be in very poor condition – many of the facade pipes are damaged and there are odd bits and pieces of organ innards sitting in one of the side galleries.. does anyone know if this organ is still playable?

St. Patrick’s Pro-Cathedral Church, Fermoy, Co. Cork
The Chapel of the Most Blessed Trinity, Dublin Castle
The Organ in St. Peter’s Church, Drogheda, Co. Louth
A detail of the organ case in Cobh Cathedral:
Beautiful carving on Cobh, detail on photo excellent as not something you can see readily make out with the naked eye if in St. Colman’s
St Ann’s Cathedral, Belfast (Harrison Organ) I believe this is the largest Organ in Northern Ireland.

(not sure of the colour scheme used…:confused: )It is just awful and goes to demonstrate the all pervading influence of Barny on the public psyche!

Is it possible that the Heritage Officer for County Cork agreed to have this carried out on the 1857 organ?

It now has that MDF feel of something from BBCs “Changing Rooms” and the mind of Laurence Llewlyn-Bowen
