I don't know alot about the place so my question would be does it feel like a city or when you are living there does it feel like a typical Irish 1 street town just with bigger suburbs?

Kilkenny for instance definitely feels like a county town and no more a city than Ennis, Thurles or Castlebar.

Ennis, Thurles, castlebar are boring kips though and smaller. Thurles especially so. Complete dive

Would Tallaght or Swords not be bigger than any of the big towns around the country?

To me, they're just suburbs of Dublin as they form part of the continuous urban sprawl of the city. Their main streets still have village feels to them and until the 1970s, that's all they were.
