Hi Dan, The key issue here is how did the Gardai or whoever made the .kmz for them source the data. If it was traced from an Ordnance Survey map or Google Maps then we can't import it into OpenStreetMap as it is 'derived data' and has copyright conditions attached to it. My suspicion is that this is probably the case, but if you were to contact the Gardai they might be able to confirm either way.
