I presume you mean storage areas on trains? It depends on the train you are taking.

Enterprise and Mk4s have luggage racks at the end of each coach. I find my folded bike doesn't quite fit under the lowest rack standing up, and I tilt it slightly sideways to fit it, but it goes in okay. If memory serves, the older 28K commuters have similar luggage racks.

InterCity Railcars (22Ks) have a dedicated bike rack on each set, that accommodates any bike. There are also luggage rack similar to above.

The Dublin area commuter fleet (29Ks) only have overhead racks. I find it best to stand the folded bike in the standing area by the doors. If the train is fairly busy, I'll lock to one of the handrails so I don't have to constantly keep an eye on it. There is also a space by the disabled toilet, but it's supposed to be for a wheelchair, so be ready to move it if a wheelchair user gets on.

DARTs would be a similar story to 29Ks (except without the disabled toilet).

Hope this helps.
