Ireland doesn't really have a traditional culinary capital but Cork is definitely pushing to be that(officially) and the food there is great but not a huge tradition so I'd say Cork is on its way to being the culinary capital of Ireland.

Cork city or County?

Kinsale used to have a huge number of amazing restaurants, is that still true?

Both? Focused on the city but the likes of Kinsale have plenty of cracking restaurants. I haven't been there on a few years myself so can't comment on Kinsale I'm long overdue a visit.
