No King Henry of England ever invaded Ireland. The reconquest of Ireland was organised by Oliver Cromwell during the time of the Republic (or Commonwealth as was called).
It had previously been invaded by Normans , who after subdueing England, moved on to Ireland.
the above is incorrect .in the papal bull laudabilter pope Adrian IV granted King Henry II of England dominion over Ireland. However the actual invasion in 1169 was not conducted by him but rather by Norman mercenaries headed by Richard deClare (strongbow) but also with Flemish contingents (de Predegast). the invasion was commisioned and on behalf of Diarmat Mac Murrough who wanted to regain his crown as king of leinster
Henry II did mount a bigger invasion in 1171 because strongbow got out of hand
