You’ll need to look at each particular airline to see.

Edited to add: AS noted by jbee, you can earn TPs on Aer Lingus when flying on a BA codeshare. You may want to check this forum as the codeshares are usually pricier than the comparable EI marketed fare. Your example wasn’t a BA codeshare, so no TPs.
Can someone clarify, why is this example not a BA codeshare if it has a BA flight number?
I'm looking at an itinerary with an Aer Lingus flight with a BA number, but will look for alternatives if I'm not receiving tier points for it.

Thanks
