I'm not familiar with any Irish version. Are you sure it's an Irish surname?

The closest name I can find is Barnacle but whether Barnable is a derivative or another name altogether I don't know

Closest i could find is Barneville - Bearnabhál

Barnacle in Irish is Ó Cadhain

But from the variations you've given it's more likely Bearnabhál

That looks a little like an English name that was Gaelicized.
