The Teacher's Union of Ireland is warning they cannot fill in the work gap left by their striking colleagues indefinitely.
Secretaries and caretakers are starting a strike today and are marching outside the Dail in order to secure equal pension and employment rights.
These plans include picketing outside schools on Monday, as the new school year starts across the Midlands.
