Corned Beef (Brisket) and Cabbage has never been a traditional meal in Ireland for St. Patrick's Day. Never!

It's roots are Irish American.  In the great cities such as Boston and New York (late 19th Century and on) Irish immigrants met and intermingled with Jewish immigrants.  )The poor with the poor).  'Twas then that the Irish discovered Brisket from the eastern European Jews.

(The Irish who stayed in their homeland were hard pressed to eat meat of any kind. The best of  pork, beef and lamb were forcefully exported by the British to England, Scotland and Wales.)
