There are some places where you can search online, however these websites do not have complete collections and many do not cover the period after 1900:

www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.

www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.

http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ have begun a project to upload Irish church records to their site free of charge. However so far only Counties Dublin, Kerry, Carlow and parts of Cork have been covered.

Some other websites that may be helpful are:

The National Archives of Irelandhttp://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/

The National Library of Ireland http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx

You could contact the parish directly. The Roman Catholic Parish of Rossinver is in Co. Leitrim (the Civli Parish as shown above, is in Co. Sligo): http://www.kilmorediocese.ie/diocese/parishes/91

You could also try to obtain a civil marriage record by contacting the GRO at http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/1/bdm/Certificates/
