The registers for the Catholic parish of Shangolden (aka Shanagolden & Foynes) start 1824 and include two children that could fit the family you mentioned :
Dionisius (Denis) Charles, baptised 7th February 1825
Thomam (Thomas) Charles, baptised 24 July 1827
(indexed on FMP)
Parents for both are Denis & Janette - no residence/townland on either, the 1825 mentions a possible maiden surname for the mother Janette - i.e. "alias Connors"
The other child Edward was possibly born just before the registers start

Shanagolden, Limerick - Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI
I've a sneaking suspicion that the RootsIreland transcript is a misreading of that same 1825 baptism I mentioned above - same day/month and for the mother 'Janetta alias Connors' they have 'Alice Connors'..
The top of the register page definitely has the year as 1825
Link to the full register page for reference (NLI) : Microfilm 02418/1 Page 9
January 1825 start on the top of the left page, the February entries start half way down the right hand page.
thank you both , i am looking in to it now :)
I have found this.

That's another partial transcript of the same record this time from Ancestry and without a date - same film reference number : 02418/1 Page 9 , see the register image extract and link to the NLI registers above.
I've no idea how they managed to get .the mother's surname as 'Ebzery', looks fairly clear to me as 'Janetta Charles alias Connors'
I took a closer look at the register to try to confirm dates and years etc by following the date sequencing in the register - that entry for the baptism of Denis jnr is on image 9 of the register :

The above entry is from the Tithe Applotment Books. This Dennis Charles lived in the townland of Knockpatrick, a couple of miles from Shanagolden.
@williamomahony, I took a second look at that Ancestry link in your most recent post - enhanced version of the linked image below - I think that's actually the baptism of the Thomas I mentioned earlier, on the 24th July 1827, this matches up with image 44 on that same NLI film 02418/01 - image 44
The RootsIreland transcript of this baptism show the mother as Janett Ebsery, the sponsors (godparents) as Thos. Doolan & Maria Martin. A check of the early Shangolden RC registers (1830s - 1860s) shows a small number of people with the surname Ebsery
You've probably already seen, but just in case - the primary Valuation (Griffith's) shows a Denis Charles leasing two small plots of land described as 'gardens' at Ardaneer townland, one with a house in 1852, likely his residence.
