Built by: William Hill & Sons (1870)
| Year | Builder | Opus | Activity | 1870 | William Hill & Sons | new organ | 1889 | Thomas Walter Magahy | rebuild | 1906 | Hele & Co. | enlargement | 1966 | J.W. Walker & Sons | restoration and enlargement | 2012 | Trevor Crowe |
- William Hill bouwde in 1870 een orgel voor de Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral van Cork. Het instrument kreeg een plaats op de orgelzolder aan de westzijde van de kerk. Op 30 november 1870 is het ingewijd. Het orgel had 40 stemmen, verdeeld over drie klavieren en pedaal. De tractuur was mechanisch, maar er waren Barker-hefbomen voor Great.
- T.W. Magahy herbouwde het instrument in 1889 in het noordertransept. Het kreeg hier een vrijwel verdekte opstelling in een grote orgelkamer, die in de vloer verzonken werd en een pneumatische toetstractuur. In 1906 breidde de firma Hele & Co. het orgel uit met een Solo-klavier. Een grondige restauratie en ombouw naar electro-pneumatische tractuur werd uitgevoerd in de jaren 1965 en 1966 door de firma J.W. Walker & Sons. Zij verlaagden ook de toonhoogte van het orgel.
- In de jaren 2010-2012 is het orgel gerestaureerd en uitgebreid door de fiirma Trevor Crowe. Daarbij is een nieuwe speeltafel geplaatst. Aan de westzijde van de kerk is een Nave Organ geplaatst, dat vanaf ieder manuaal kan worden bespeeld.
