You could try contacting Jim Herlihy at Blarney Garda Station (his e-mail address is on the attached link). He has access to RIC records and has a reputation for being very helpful.

Also, familysearch.org has a couple of birth records for George and Rebecca, though only one (Albert Edward in 1876) with the name of the child.  Click here:

Maybe it would be helpful if you set out what you are trying to find out about George or what it is that you already know.  Might help to save time.
