Kilkenny was the capital of what was known as "Confederate Ireland" between 1642 and 1649. This was only parts of Ireland, controlled by Catholic interests. Dublin has been capital of Ireland since the 12th century. During that time, due to historical reasons, colonisation, wars etc., Irish territory has varied, so the region that Dublin could be said to be capital of has also varied.

How long did Romans occupy Ireland?

They never occupied Ireland although there is a suggestion they were looking at the possibilty of doing so. There are Roman artefacts found around Dublin and the Town of Chester (then Deva) was one of the biggest forts in the whole empire. The only reason for this would be the conquest of Ireland. The Empire fell into civil war and then collapsed before they made a move on Ireland.
