Hard to say as you have given so little detail on the size and scope of the project

under 2k per sq/m doesnt seem mental in todays market but depends on the spec aswell, for example how much is the kitchen, upvc or aluclad windows, size of solar system, etc etc
 
Have you looked to see what grants you can get for the energy retrofit.? I presume these are Dublin prices also, you'd buy a 4 bed semi in my town down the country for that amount have have change left over.

That is insane. Even if it is a reasonable price for the work involved (which I doubt).

Consider selling the house, add €300k, look at what you can buy for the money.

Also look at demolishing completely and building a new house on the site.
 
Would also suggest demolishing and re-building, if that is the best price you can get. You would get a better BER rating at the end and the cost should not be significantly more, your rooms would be a better size as not constrained by internal insulation and you may also get a more suitable layout. The downside may be more delays due to planning etc.
