Remove ceiling
Install insulation
Replace ceiling
Install lights which are not recessed into the insulation.

If cold draughts are entering via the lights, warm moist air is going up there, which will cause mould and rot inside the ceiling.

Is/was building control involved - they will not like holes in the Celotex (note spelling).
