- De firma Kenneth Jones bouwde in 1990/1991 een vierklaviers orgel voor de National Concert Hall in Dublin. Zowel Solo Organ als Bombarde Organ kunnen vanaf het vierde manuaal worden bespeeld, maar ook op het pedaal. Het instrument is op 30 september 1991 officieel in gebruik genomen met een concert door Peter Hurford en Gerard Gillen, waaraan ook het Ierse National Symphony Orchestra meewerkte.
- in 2006 is het orgel door Kenneth Jones gereviseerd en uitgebreid met enkele stemmen. Het pedaal werd uitgebreid met een viertal digitale registers.
