WI: James V of Scotland becomes King of Ireland during the Kildare rebellion?

In the 1530s, Ireland rebelled from its English overlord, led by the Kildare FitzGeralds, Lords Deputy of Ireland who had assimilated into Irish culture and retained their Catholicism during the English Reformation. This rebellion had support from many other Catholic powers in Europe hoping to check English power, and they received limited funding and arms from Scotland, the Holy Roman Emperor, and the Pope, though never the troops they needed to win the war. However, I recently found out that at least some nobles in Ireland were considering offering James V of Scotland the crown of Ireland if he came to their aid (a paper on this can be downloaded from https://strathprints.strath.ac.uk/35077/1/James_V_2_.doc) EDIT: After some more research, it seems that in 1540, James had actually taken up this offer, was styling himself "Lord of Ireland" and ready to sail his troops over, but the rebellion had already been defeated and Henry VIII was attacking Scotland itself, so I suppose this WI is asking if he had entered sooner.

If James had taken up this offer and fully joined the war, would that be enough to permanently wrest Ireland away from the English (especially if his effort convinced other powers like the Emperor to contribute)? How would a united Scottish-Irish crown fare next to England? Would they ever combine into one nation, and what would its name be?

English authority in Ireland was in name only, even if by some miracle James does succeed, attempting to his enforce his rule in Ireland would be tough if not outright impossible. Even after Henry tried to enforce his rule over Ireland, it would not happen for another 60 or so years.
