Ideally, lime plaster on solid walls. Dot & dab will cause problems, and any damp forming in the wall will highlight the dabs of adhesive.

If you are stripping the walls back to bare brick, building regs will oblige you to insulate the walls, in which case, leave a ventilated air gap between the brickwork & insulation.
