Your Irish insurance is good for EU countries and your licence shouldn't be a problem. If you are in any doubt give them a ring. Some insurance companies offer roadside assistance across the EU so you might want to make sure you have the number to call.
Depending on where you are headed, I can recommend riding down through Wales, Peak District, Lake district and Yorkshire Dales. People are very friendly and the  is good -if you like warm ale.
The motorway to London, Manchester (or anywhere for that matter) is dull dull dull. Stick to the A roads and enjoy your trip.
