It's a good question so I looked it up. There is an EU directive on driving licensesWhile you may be right, why would Brexit have any relevance to data sharing between Ireland and the UK, why would they not continue on as before?
5.
(a)
No person may hold more than one driving licence;
(b)
A Member State shall refuse to issue a licence where it establishes that the applicant already holds a driving licence;
(c)
Member States shall take the necessary measures pursuant to point (b). The necessary measures as regards the issue, replacement, renewal or exchange of a driving licence shall be to verify with other Member States where there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the applicant is already the holder of another driving licence;
(d)
In order to facilitate the checks pursuant to point (b), Member States shall use the EU driving licence network once it is operational.
Without prejudice to Article 2, a Member State issuing a licence shall apply due diligence to ensure that a person fulfils the requirements set out in paragraph 1 of this Article and shall apply its national provisions on the cancellation or withdrawal of the right to drive if it is established that a licence has been issued without the requirements having been met.
As you can see no one is allowed to hold two EU licenses at the same time, and EU member states have to share information to ensure that someone applying for a license in one member sate cannot hold one in another already. There is no legal basis for this automatic cooperation anymore now that the UK is not an EU member. I cannot see any reference to this in the EU-UK withdrawal agreement.
This FAQ from the NDLS has some details. It simply says that UK licenses can be (and should be) exchanged for an Irish one of the holder moves to the Republic.
Post Brexit, as an Irish license holder I can't see a reason why you can't apply for a UK license (including sitting a test) once you are UK resident.
