On a rectn trip to Ireland, the tour guide stated that the trees were used as timber by Cromwell to build ships to expand the size of the British fleet. Basically, he ravaged the country (which he cared little about) of trees for the benefit of England.

Who did oliver cromwell kill?
Cromwell is thought to have suffered from malaria (probably first contracted while on campaign in Ireland) and from "stone", a common term for urinary/kidney infections. In 1658 he was struck by a sudden bout of malarial fever, followed directly by an attack of urinary/kidney symptoms. A Venetian physician tracked Cromwell's final illness, saying Cromwell's personal physicians were mismanaging his health, leading to a rapid decline and death, which was also hastened by the death of his favorite daughter Elizabeth Cromwell in August at age 29. He died at Whitehall on 3 September 1658, the anniversary of his great victories at Dunbar and Worcester. (dont know how much is true...hope it helps.)
