A carrier operating to China i woukd suggest is a no brainer for the daa but this is the daa we are talking about.
The south american traffic opersting via mad and lhr would also suggest that rio may indeed be another market to tap into.
Ireland has no bilateral air services agreement with Nigeria (see list
here) so that would have to be addressed before any direct flights could start. Similarly for South America. But just because there may be a reasonable passenger flow between Ireland and (for example) Brazil doesn't mean that a direct service (presumably at relatively low frequency) would be economically viable.
