I agree they probably won't leave. Ireland is cheap for labour as well. (It has/had one of Google's lowest salary levels, for instance.)
However, it will make new companies question moving there. I was in Ireland when Brexit was becoming a reality. My guess was that Fintechs would flee London into Dublin, but it looked like many went to Amsterdam. English is fairly widespread in continental Europe now.
Even Switzerland (which already has four national/federation languages, depending on region) is slowly moving towards English as second language.
