You can either apply for a business or tourist visa to go back to China, but not now, because the border has been closed.

If you can arrange your trip well, like Ireland - Beijing - a third country (but not Ireland), you may use the 144h visa-free transit in Beijing, so visa is not required. Otherwise, you need to apply for a visa in advance.
