I'm sure there may be rules that would suggest Shels' name should just replace Sheriff's in the draw and that means Shelbourne play in Tolka. But I don't think a team that won their place in the draw on the field should have to play away to a team that is still in the competition by default, just because the non-league side that beat them came out of the hat first. The preference should be to reward the team that wins on the field.
In practical terms though, Sheriff cheated, so Shels should have been in the draw. If they had been, alphabetically they would have been the same number ball as Sheriff, and nothing would have changed. So I don't see that ye'd have a leg to stand on.
