I think it was the Memorial Atlas of Ireland, provided by NUI Galway. There was a layer in JOSM for tracing Civil Parishes and Baronies, I can't find it any more, as our infrastructure has gone done (ie maps.openstreetmap.ie) Here is the one for Fermanagh on Mapwarper -

If the KML was compiled by the use of a Google Maps layer then there is no way to sort out an OSM license, the data is polluted. Technically the Church of Ireland is of the Catholic Church, just not the Church of Rome. I believe the term used in the Apostles' Creed is "Holy Catholic Church",
