You need to be able to do calculations,
know basic algebra. You do not have to do H.L. maths for the
leaving .
Do you need to be good at Maths to do Chemistry?

To do higher level chemistry you should have an honour in higher level Junior Cert Maths (preferably an A or B).
This is not compulsory, but you will probably find the subject difficult or opt for Ordinary level.
People who are good with logic and numbers tend to enjoy chemistry.
