I searched the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800. Caution - The IFHF charges a 5 euro fee per rcd to view the details.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN parish, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 35%.
Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.
Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).
Note 4 - Each parish's rcds have their own quirks and limitations, too many to enumerate individually.
For Charles O'Flaherty B 1860-1890 somewhere in Ireland (possibly Cork) with the father's forename unknown, I found only 3 B rcds: 1865 Kildare, 1882 Antrim, and 1883 Longford. None of these quite fit your parameters. Rcd keeping by this era was generally good. This infers that the info on his B rcd hasn't been digitized yet.
Google the foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genform msg.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
