The price should be 100-150 per square foot in Cork, depending on access, services ect so the estimate is a tad on the high side if it is a straight forward building, also if this is a quote rather than a estimate an amount is often put on to future proof the quote.

Get at least two other quotes, that should give you a better idea of what is realistic. And tell all the parties that you are getting multiple quotes, so they know they are in a competitive environment. For anything other than the smallest job you should always get three quotes.
 
Lot more details required here. Are the existing walls and foundations capable of supporting the weight? Is the garage to be kept as a garage? Fireproofing will be required if so.
