I know the Gardai don't do it anymore so I contacted a public notary, and he was looking for 60e. Is he charging too much?

I had one done at a local solicitors office a while back and they didn't charge me anything.

It's literally a stamp, some firms charge a tenner and sometimes they won't bother because it takes a few seconds

I know of solicitors that charge a tenner but my solicitor doesn't charge clients. Guards do it for free.

It will depend on the purpose for which you need it certified. A notary public will likely only be needed if it was for some international purpose. For a domestic purpose it could be a solicitor/commissioner for oaths (€10-20 per copy) or a peace commissioner (free).

Based on a making an appointment with a notary public (officeholder in the Faculty of same) who insisted on charging the lower fee as a solicitor/commissioner for oaths. A very honest man!

As stated if you need your passport certified as genuine for international purposes i.e. visa,residency abroad you will need a public notary.The cheapest I've come across is e40 per document and they were not related to a solicitor's office.If,the notary is also a solicitor you could pay e60 or more(think of a number and Dble it!).e100 is not unusual quote.Look up goldenpages.ie or other sites and phone a few for prices.
