The Organ of St Bridget's Church, Killester, Dublin

Sincere thanks to Robin Heather for this information.

This instrument was originally built in 1912 by Peter Conacher & Co. for St John's Church of Ireland, Listowel, Co. Kerry. It was moved from Listowel in 1987 by Derek Verso & Co., after St. John's had closed for public worship.

It is a two manual instrument, each manual having 58 notes, with a pedalboard of 30 notes. The action is mechanical throughout. The orgain is positioned to the left of the gallery, facing up the church.
