If you order a replacement SIM then it will use your existing number, account, login, membership plan etc.
Make sure that you ordered a replacement and not a brand new SIM.
UK roaming is supported by all plans.
Unfortunately many people still seem to have problems with roaming abroad on 48 for some reason.
If your SIM predates January 2023 then a replacement may mitigate or eliminate roaming problems:
It may be worthwhile reviewing these two threads in case any of the suggestions help to avoid roaming problems:

If you have returned to Ireland from roaming abroad and are having problems using the 48 network/calls/texts/mobile data then see this key post, in particular the section titled "Returned Home?":
If you still have problems then you'll probably need to contact 48 support for further assistance.
