Weeeellllll Chris, I pulled out all my very best maps... the Michelins do not go into enough detail, tho I did see the town of Killiney and Killiney BAY on the map jsut where you described it would be, SE of Dublin proper. From what I can see, the area is quite small and you are to the "picking nits" stage of the game Since it is your birthday I just suggest you ask for a birthday plane ticket and simply go to Killiney and find Brennanstown for yourself! You are soooooo close, and after all, it is your birthday! Yes, you may print this and give it to appropriate family members! Don't forget to share the results of your quest with the list when you get back ;] I am a firm believer in positive thinking!
