Patrick's birth took place in 1874 after the start of civil registration, so a cert should be available (some births were missed out in earlier years..). See : Introduction to Irish Records (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,442233.0.html)
Since he has quite a common name name, there could be a few potential matches. It's also worth checking the extracted birth records on familysearch - as these cover details of many births around this time (link included in the intro topic)
