Going on the last world cup in New Zealand they used 12 stadiums in 12 different cities/town across the country. Average capacity roughly 28000.
In terms of stadiums Ireland has more that enough. However I'm not sure if we would be able to get an even spread of stadiums across the country and the majority of the GAA stadiums in Ireland are still terraced which may be an issue.
That being said if Casement park and Páirc Uí Chaoimh are sorted by 2023 that would be big boost and I'm sure some of the terraces in current GAA grounds could have seating installed. Could also potentially use venues outside of the county like Millennium Stadium and Murrayfield (England are staging games in Cardiff for next years world cup and France also availed of the Millennium Stadium during the 2007 world cup).
If the bid is well planned and managed well we are in with a shout, would personally love to see it happening!
