Paul:

I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and fortunately for you, the Kilkeevan (Castlerea) records go back to 1804. Roots Ireland had a February 15 1806 marriage record for a Michael Costoloe and Mary Colery at the Castlerea church. Besides the baptismal record for Mary in 1808, there was a baptismal record for a Thomas Costoloe on December 8 1806 with parents Michael Costoloe and Mary Collery.  There was also a June 7 1816 baptismal record for a Michael Costello with father Michael Costello but the mother was shown as Eleanor Collary. Not sure if this record was for a different family.

Here is a link to the parish register for Castlerea  https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0551 ; You may want to search for other family records. I didn't look at the register so the condition and legibility may be problematic.
