In this case Ireland will collect but this is on behalf of the entire EU. Where does it go after?

It generally stays in the country issuing the fine, and it's up to that country what to do with it:

>“While the GDPR determines which infringements can lead to the imposition of a fine and which DPA [data protection administration] in the EU/EEA has the power to impose a fine for infringements, the GDPR does not determine what happens to administrative fines [my emphasis]. This is determined by national law and differs between member states. For all aspects of enforcement not governed by the GDPR, national law applies.”

As for where specifically in Ireland, it seems to just go to the general government budget.
