Catherine:
The Mormon Church microfilmed the RC church records for Dunmore parish and they go back to 1833. You can order the film online and view the film at a local Mormon Family History Center.

I also searched www.familysearch.org for death index records. I found one for an Owen Mullarkey who died in 1886 in the Tuam registration district (which included Cloondergan). No guarantee that this is your GGF but it looks good. You can write to the GRO www.groireland.ie for a copy. Fill out their form and provide the year of death, registration district and the volume and page number ( 4 and 395). Costs around 4 euros. Also, found a possible Bridget Mullarkey record. (See below).
