I have been given a Bank of Ireland £5 note that was issued in 2003.

Bank of Ireland currency is no longer legal tender of ireland. It has been replaced by the Euro. That replacement was completed in January of 2002, and I do not believe that any outstanding Irish currency any longer has any value.
If you attempted to use the Irish Punt to play for something in England, you might be arrested. Go try to fool someone else.

Do you Mean Bank of Ireland Punts from Dublin or the Northern Irish Bank (Belfastt) Pounds?
Banbk of Ireland Punts were only legal tender in Eire (Southern Ireland) until the Euro replaced them they are now worth as much as toilet tissue!
Northern Irish Bank notes are not even Legal Tender in Norther Ireland they are accepted by convention tho in the same way that the Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland and Clydesdale Bank notes are not legal tender they are by convention accepted within a limited area for convenience.
the only Notes that are Legal Tender are:-
Bank of England public Circulation Notes (eg £5, £10, £20, £50)
or Bank of England Treasury Notes (can be any value) and if you have ever seen these you are either a bank director a diplomat or government minister

All Euros are legal tender, if you are talking about old notes talk to the Bank of Ireland!

No. Ireland is not part of Great Britain. In fact, the Irish hate the English. Northern Ireland is part of GB and still uses the pound etc..

No -different system. You will have to switch over to sterling from euros. Irish euros are acceptable on the continent, if you go over there you can use them, but not in England/Scotland/Wales.
