Corned beef and cabbage is an American construct that began in the 1800s.
In the United States during the Irish potato famine influx, Irish immigrants lived near Jewish communities. Jewish butchers had adopted a preservation process of "corning" or packing in salt. The process is actually Anglican and predates the New World application of the word corn to the plant we now know (research Alton Brown cooking show where he makes his own corned beef). Preserved meats were cheaper than fresh cuts of mutton, and poor Irish immigrants bought what they could. Other neighborhoods began to associate the cheap cut of tough brisket with the Irish.
