St. Patrick's day it seems was a reverent religious observance in old Ireland. Only in the 20th century after it became a raucous drinking holiday in the United States, was it adopted as such in Ireland, for the purpose of promoting tourism.

Corned beef and cabbage (also known as 'New England boiled dinner') was not eaten in old Ireland. Cattle were raised and kept as dairy animals, but beef was not really much a part of the Irish Menu. They ate bacon with boiled cabbage, but in the United States, corned beef was somehow substituted for bacon (less expensive?).

Keep the old ways of food safety in mind; aside from the modern era many meats were ridden with parasites and failing to thoroughly cook them lead to various parasitic infection and diseases. The prohibition of eating pork for the jews and the muzzies was based off solid health data. Beef was better, however curing it instead of cooking it outright did not kill off the parasites. Wherever it started, corned beef was not originally Irish, and the current batch of (claiming to be) jews, frankly suck. The OG ones had some valid health regulations from God. And then they tried to fool Him. you will reap what you sow. Expect it.
