What would be an example also of using the phrase in a sentence?

Some of these expressions about which you're asking seem either odd or obscure (perhaps some are dialectical or archaic). For this one, as an example, it seems more natural to say Tá col agam or Tá col orm, as in this example from FGB (a source you should get in the habit of consulting, because it gives a lot of examples of how to use words):

Bhí col orm é a dhéanamh.
I felt a repugnance to doing it.

I have a couple of these phrases recorded on my phone and I must have inadvertently recorded down "Is col liom" rather than "Tá col orm/agam".
Plus I can't find the source I supposedly took it from now.

Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated.

e.g. (the only e. I could find)
In 'Gargantua', Breandán Ó Doibhlin wrote:
Ní gá, áfach, gur mímhorálta an dearcadh é. Ceist don íogaireacht indibhidiúil atá ann: is col le daoine áirithe é mar ionramháil; is údar gáire, agus fuascailte, ag daoine eile.


my tranlation
"However, it is not necessary that the attitude be immoral. It is a question of individual sensitivity: it is a dislike for some people as a manipulation; (but) a source of laughter, and redemption, for others."
