Should I plaster a wall before fitting insulated plasterboard?
 

I've taken the wall back to the brick and it's reasonably straight
should I plaster it before I fit the insulated plasterboard which is
30mm insulated stuff with a thin 12mm plaster board attached.

No - why on earth would you want to do that?!

So the wall is completely flat and smooth before putting the insulated
plasterboard on.

It would usually be easier to scribe battens to the wall if that is the
case.

Doesn't need to be smooth, the plaster adhesive will sort out minor
variations. To be sure, you could always put some plaster dabs on the
wall and level those with a straightedge.
I've used screws before now, the advantage being you can adjust them in
and out indefinitely until you get everything level. At least then you
know which bits may need bigger blobs of adhesive.
