That is a good question and a complex one to answer. It's hard to quantify because England's colonial efforts in Ireland started as far back as the twelfth century with the Norman invasion in 1169. Little is recorded of what occurred then, but one can assume that, as in any military action, many people would have been killed, and surely, there would have been hunger after as probably some harvests were burnt.
Later on we have the Cromwellian invasion of Ireland in 1649. The war that followed killed tens of thousands. Catholics were not seen as fellow human beings but as animals, and were treated as such. Around 50,000 were sold into slavery to places like Barbados and Monserrat in the Caribbean. The 19th century saw the Irish famine, again a huge English involvement in letting the potato blight lead to famine, and this killed up to 2 million, and displaced millions in its aftermath as emigration started.
