If they know he studied in Maynooth and the subjects he taught I'd be confident the age is as accurate as can be expected.
I've sent an email to the GRO. There's a lot of tips and leads in that piece to discover more. I will try sending an email to Maynooth to see if they have record of him. I wonder where he taught.

None. I've chased them multiple times about the missing death records from 1864-69. The GRO blames the Dept of Culture and they blame the GRO.

The GRO responded that they have no civil death record for him, so that's why it's not on the site I suppose. Raises more questions though.
