I am descended from this family via son Patrick, who came to California with the Donner Party, so have collected bits and pieces.You might want to check my WorldConnect database -- Edward Breen can be found at http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=raviac&id=I399http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=raviac&id=I399, then let me know if there is further information I might be able to help with.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sarah Breen from Borris who replied to your message may turn out to be related as well -- my ggg grandmother Margaret Bulger Breen came to America with a letter of recommendation from the parish priest of Borris and sent a donation from California in 1869 toward a belfry, bell and cross for the church there. :)
