Mark:
Although there are Flynns in the north (my grandmother Bridget Flynn was one)including in Co. Mayo, there is also a separate Flynn family in the south where Leary, Hanrahan, and Kinnane are found. It is unlikely that any of those folks came from Mayo unless they had gotten really lost.
Your best bet is to focus on message boards for the most southerly counties. You may be able to pinpoint places where those families lived in the same parish in the 1857 Griffiths land valuation.
Good Luck.
