No. You will have to pay the fixed penalty fine but the DVLA cannot put points on your Irish driving licence in England. They will keep your details on file and if you convert your Irish Licence to a UK driving licence in the period during which your points would be still active you had a UK licence all long then the points will be on your new UK licence. In short, try and save yourself a few pounds and dont get done! Like I have! twice in 6 months!! But I have no points :-)
