I don't think it's accurate to state that no one in Ireland eats corned beef. Even the article cited clearly mentions that corned beef is not a staple of the Irish diet because beef was too expensive for the average Irish family, but did become more common in the 20th century.

The article also mentions that Irish immigrants treated corned beef the way they would prepare a bacon joint-- that is, they braised or boiled it with cabbage. That particular preparation is traditionally Irish, and in fact many of my friends and relatives in Ireland are quite fond of corned beef and cabbage. (But we all love pork and cabbage more!)
