The LDS do not own Genealogical Publishing Company. The archives of this list should have some messages regarding the copyrights owned after republication.

Canada's copyright is 50 years after the death of the author and I think US copyright is 75 years after the book was written. Guess you'll have to find out what Ireland's copyright laws are! It's more than likely public domain. If someone reprints something they do not own the copyright to the original material.
