to remove the plaster as I want to keep the lath to put the plasterboard
on.

Can you get above it? If so, just tread it down, or use
a baulk of timber (watch for blisters!).

==================
I used a garden spade (from above) - no blisters and much less danger of
falling through the joists! It chopped off the laths easily leaving just
the nails to remove once the dust had settled.
