    http://www.cso.ie/census/Non-Irish%20Nationals.htm Other CSO reports may have details.

    DFA and GNIB may have visa and other data.

    Yep, call the Embassy, though they might be slow getting back to you. Also ask for a desk officer in Dublin responsible for China. They might send an email to the Embassy looking for information and it might bring more weight. But the Embassy should have their figures up-to-date, or know who does, because DFA has been working on an 'Irish Abroad' strategy for some time. They issued a request for information on the Irish Diaspora from the Embassies and these were submitted some time ago.
