The IMO Fireball listing for the UK for that date and time has not flagged anything yet on the list or 'pending'. Video cameras of the NEMATODE network will have been active so one or more of the stations may well have picked the event up.

Captured on my all-sky camera

As William explained above, I captured it on my all-sky camera from Monasterevin, Co. Kildare consisting of a Computar 2.6mm lens and Watch 902H2 Supreme.

Analysis in UFOAnalyser indicates a Leonid.
