Sadly it appears simply because they were Catholics & he was not. While I may admire Cromwells military skill & leadership qualities this is one General I strike from my list of the greats.
Actually he also did it because he was worried that another country was going to join with the Irish and take over England.

This is absolutely not the case whatsoever.
England had been in a civil war Ireland had supported Charles I against parliament and Cromwell. Cromwell landed in Ireland to destroy the royalist forces and the infamous masscre at Drogheda, for example, consisted almost entirely of English troops and not Irish civilians as is often touted. Indeed, most of the civilian casualties happenned AFTER Cromwell had left Ireland.
Cromwell himself said that while he had no truck with Catholicism he didn't begrudge the man who believed it as long as he didn't take up arms.

Why did the Irish hate oliver cromwell in the 1650s?
The Irish harbored deep resentment towards Oliver Cromwell in the 1650s primarily due to his brutal military campaign during the English Civil War, aimed at subduing Irish resistance. His forces were responsible for significant atrocities, including the infamous massacres at Drogheda and Wexford, where thousands of Irish soldiers and civilians were killed. Additionally, Cromwell's policies led to widespread land confiscations from Irish Catholics, exacerbating social and economic hardships. This combination of violence and dispossession fueled long-lasting animosity towards him in Ireland.
