How good do you need to be at maths to not be totally lost at the start of maths or tp? do you need to have done applied maths for leaving cert or is that still not enough?

Hello! A little background about me before I get on to what I need help with.

I have a BSc in Environmental Science (Applied Environmental Science) from a US University. I have been working for 3 years now in water testing laboratories. I am 25.

So I am planning on moving to Ireland from the US by the end of the year (do not need assistance regarding that). I have been looking into the job market and have been having some difficulties with finding stuff I feel qualified for. Since I have started my process of moving, I have started considering going back to university to get further educated. I would still want to be in the same field and I honestly really enjoy working in a lab. Something else I have considered is looking into getting qualified to teach environmental science related subjects. I have done some research into different universities but I do feel I need to visit a place and see how my degree best translates. I did not do the best in some of my classes (I did very well in my major specific ones) but I do have work experience.
Some classes I took that i did really enjoy other than like lab classes were- Sustainably, Environmental Law and Policy, ArcGIS class, and a few others.

So my questions are:
- What are some majors you might suggest I look into?
- What university would you recommend for such?
- How feasible would you say working and going to university is? Or are there opportunities to work at university?
- I am not sure if there us anything else I should ask so if I missed anything you feel is important please do include it.

I just checked my grades and it says one of exam results has 0. I literally need 1% to pass by compensation well 2% actually.

I just need 1.1% to pass my maths module. The section of the exam that says 0% is not resittable and it’s either pass by compensation (I only have 33.9% I need 35%) or pay €160 and resit there entire module. I’m actually freaking out idk what to do

When i was searching up the admission deadlines a while back i confused the international deadline with the EU deadline and now i just realised that CAO late closing date was at May 1 not in June. Is there really no way to get in an application after the closing date? Do i just give up on trying to get into september intake? I was going for UCD.
