Teachers fear the Government's plan to build new schools will put upgrades on hold
The Education Minister says more than 40 schools will go up over the next four years.
Four will be located here in Cork.
Carrigaline, Glasheen/Pouladuff and Gurranbraher will get new primary schools while Ballincollig will get a new secondary school.
But the investment means fund may not be available to refurbish more than 500 existing schools.
Clive Byrne, Director of the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals, says many schools badly need work done.
