Hi there, Yes Kilkenny is a city in Ireland. It is located 1.5hours from Dublin and as someone who lives there Ihave to say it is a fantasitc place to visit. It is a small city but very friendly.

Kilkenny is in Southern Ireland. It was always classed as a city (known as The Marble City) until a few years ago the powers that be downgraded Kilkenny to a town. So while we all call Kilkenny a city, officially in Government eyes it is a town.

Yes, Kilkenny is a small city. It is a great place to stay. Very historic and great to meander around. The castle is a must to see. The pubs are great, the food is great. There are loads of different types of accommodation (try www.ireland.ie for more information - it's the official tourist board site).
It is (kind of) in the middle of Ireland. It's a very popular tourist spot - for the Irish as well as the rest of the world's population.

Kilkenny is a county and a city within that county, but in name only. It was proclaimed a city hundreds of years ago, and has been overtaken in size and prosperity by several cities and even towns, so that nowadays, it doesn't fit the criteria to be called a city, but it has never been officially demoted to a town. It's a lovely place, I live there.
And by the way, it's ages from Killarney!!!
