Done all the time around here, watch the insulation clearance dimensions
for heat reasons, A made had some where they didnt, and the over heat
thing in the transformers kept tripping meaning the lights cycled on and
off all the time. Was an expensive one for the builder to fix :)

..what insulation :)  I did mean to ask if any one knew if it was OK
just to pack fibreglass insulation material between the rafters, right
up against the slates, before putting the plasterboard on.

Where did you put the transformer.. presumably NOT behind the plasterboard,
maybe under the floorboards ?
