Members of the armed regional support unit were notified and were making their way to the facility when the incident occurred.
It is believed the man was alone in a room when the incident occurred, with immediate medical assistance given but he was pronounced dead at the scene soon after.
A detailed forensic examination is being carried out, and the scene has been sealed off.
A firearm was recovered from the scene, believed to be a pistol, and is thought to be subjected to forensic and ballistics tests.
The State pathologist has also been requested at the scene and the man's body is expected to be removed to Cork University Hospital for a post-mortem to be carried out.
Gardaí are treating the death as a personal tragedy and a file is set to be prepared for the coroner's court.
