Many many bright lights travelling East to West over Irish sea

Lights passed directly above house out over the Irish sea travelling West. Groups of 4 or more every few minutes, observed for an hour although continuing when we retired to bed.
Lights resembled the brightness of the space station which we do see here travelling West to East during summer months. Some were much higher than others so appeared fainter. All travelling same direction.
These were not starlink as they were not linked in any way. Any aircraft in sky would have clearly been able to see these in the sky at that time.
These were not meteors as there were no contrails and no colours. Some were so bright they shone through the clouds.
Stars in the night sky could also be observed at the same time.
These were not stars.they were moving at speeds similar to space station disappearing over Horizon after a few minutes becoming fainter as they travelled further. Overhead and in near distance they were incredibly bright.
