Legalisation of documents by DFA before the Chinese Embassy

Hello,
I'm an Irish teacher from Co. Limerick about to apply for a Z work visa.
1. Do I have to have the original certificates for my Irish police check and PGCE (despite being created in England) legalised by the DFA before the Chinese Embassy or would colour photocopies also be possible? I see that the DFA in Cork legalise such documents by post currently so I would courier them ideally.
Then, I understand, I would have to attend a face to face appointment at the Chinese Embassy in Dublin in order to have them legalise these documents.
2. I wonder if it might ever be possible for me to have a trusted friend who is already based in Dublin attend on my behalf in the event of me not being able to get time off work to travel up at short notice?
Many thanks in advance for any further information,
Kindest regards,
Siobhan

1. Yes, you need to legalize the documents by Ireland DFA before the Chinese Embassy.
2. Yes, you can. The addtional requirement is needed: the passport of the people on behalf of you.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply, which is sincerely appreciated at this time.
The Irish Department for Foreign Affairs (DFA) only legalise documents authorised by Republic of Ireland authorities and therefore cannot legalise my PGCE.
1. So, since my PGCE was created and already notarised in the UK, must it also then be notarised by the Chinese Embassy in London?
2. Does it have to be the original or can it be a colour photocopy?
I might have to ask a work colleague in London to go there with their passport on my behalf..... Many thanks in advance for any further information.
Best wishes,
Siobhan

Good morning once again,
I hope you are well. I have been in touch with my future employer in China. I have been advised to first check with you which hospitals you accept for the medical examination that is required for the Z visa. I understand the attached form must be completed by one hospital doctor. I hope I can get all 3 things done (chest X-ray, ECG & lab. blood test) in the same hospital on the same day to save time. Can it be either a public or private hospital? Due to the cyber attack on the HSE, I think it might be faster to have these done in a private hospital..
Many thanks in advance for any further information,
Best wishes,
Siobhan
