Insulating above bay windows

Hi,
We have a couple of bay windows in our house. The rest of the house is insulated as well as possible (for a retrofit), ie. cavity wall and attic.

The ceiling space above the bay windows probably only has the original insulation (100mm or so? house built 15 years ago) at best. It shows up a degree or 2 lower (even in the mild weather) when I put an infra red thermometer to it.

So, I'm wondering how best to insulate? They are a couple of feet deep and the roof (protruding from the ground floor wall) over the ceiling is a couple of feet high.

I'm thinking the ceiling could be drilled and rockwool pumped in? Not sure if this would be possible if there is already some fibreglass insulation in there?
Any thoughts?

Thanks...
