Whoever is running the northern operation, it won't make a blind bit of difference unless the UK/NI government is invensting in Rail, and that hasn't been happening for the last few years. There's no way IE could divert stock paid for by the Irish government to NI services. They had a unique oppertunity to upgrade the Enterprise relatively cheaply recently, and it was blocked because NIR couldn't come up with their share - and that was only a third since the cost would be split three ways with the EU.
