Irish names like Brian required the priests to become inventive with their Latin translation - Bernard or Barnaby were both used for Brian.

I am sure you are right.
But in this case it is not just a Latin/English issue, with Latin being used in the parish registers.
This same fellow appears as both Bryan/Bernard in both the civil registration and parish records.

Hah, you've struck lucky that he hasn't used the Irish version of his name, as people began to in 1911. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002218085/
