In section for Father and mother details I have selected N/A as my both parents are dead. I'm not sure is it correct as to N/A sections or I should put my parent details. I cannot find any answer anywhere.

I think you can tick "Not Applicable" on the top of each section regarding your father and mother's information.

Online application.

I’m a foreign resident in Ireland. How can I apply for a tourist visa to China? There’s no option to choose the Chinese embassy in Dublin for an appointment.
