Do you have his birth cert?
If so, what does it say? At least one parent should be named on it.

As you mentioned a Dublin birth record, I assumed you had seen a record somewhere?

Or are you just going by family knowledge?

Sorry, I don't see a twin for either of those Thomases above on Ancestry.

You could try https://rootsireland.ie.

I don't have a subscription for that - maybe some other helper does.
