Well, sure, Corn Beef and Cabbage isn't even Irish, it's American. Corn Beef was introduced to the Irish in the US by Jews, in Ireland they were eating more pork then beef.

It replaced Bacon and Cabbage where Bacon is an unsliced portion of Irish/British Back Bacon. Back bacon was an inexpensive meat in Ireland compared to beef.
