ballincollig garda station

Lost my age card about a week and a bit ago in ballincollig and was told it was handed into ballincollig garda station. So I go there at around 3pm on monday only to find out they’re closed. My mistake. I should’ve checked they’re hours even though it’s unusual for a garda station to close at 1 in the afternoon. I go there again today and there’s no one at the office so i’m waiting outside the garda station for about half an hour. I rang them and was redirected to Togher garda station. They tell me to wait at the gate and that they’ll be back in a few minutes. I was waiting at the gate for another 30 minutes. Finally a garda car is seen leaving the station and I was so relieved until the guard in the car tells me that the office is closed. It’s a bit annoying seeing as I’ve come all the way from togher to get my age card back. Do they do this often or am I just really unlucky today??
