I get the train and only know when to get off by looking out the window but I notice people sit where they can't see outside. how do they know when to
get off ? do they count the stops

There are announcements.

The train from Portlaoise to Heuston Station travels so slow that you could jump off anytime...

Heh, there certainly are, if they are the right ones or not, is another matter entirely, especially on the commuter and 86xx dart class!

Apart from the announcements there's a rolling ticker above the doors telling you what the next station is and how far it is..

On the trains with wrong announcements, this is also wrong

GPS Alarm clock for your smart phone - great on all public transport.

Frequently misinformation.

This morning I was on a train from Howth,
approaching Raheny the recording announced we were about to stop at Killester. I thought I had nodded off until we came into Raheny
Next stop, it told us next stop, Pearse.

This less of a problem than late announcements, on more than one occasion, I have heard DunLaoghaire called just after leaving that station.
