Two separate primary school protests have taken place in Dublin.
Pupils from Gaelscoil Bharra in Cabra, Dublin, demonstrated outside the Department of Education over the school's accommodation.
The school has been housed in temporary prefabs since 1996 and is campaigning for a new school building.
Organisers say around 60 people took part in the protest.
Earlier, 50 pupils from the Old Borough National School in Swords, Co Dublin, along with teachers and parents, protested outside the Dáil over changes to teacher support services.
The school said the reorganisation of services will mean its full-time learning support teacher position will now be cut to a part-time post.
The school's principal Anne-Marie Woods said the reorganisation of the support services will not save the Government money.
Learning support teachers assist pupils who are having difficulties with reading, writing and arithmetic.
Elsewhere, Minister of State at the Department of Education, Ciarán Cannon, has told the Dáil that it is important for staffing levels in all schools to be set at an affordable and sustainable level in these very financially difficult times.
Speaking during a debate, Mr Cannon said small rural schools cannot expect to continue to employ, "for example 2 teachers for just 12 pupils".
The Private Members Motion put forward by Fianna Fáil in relation to cuts in small primary schools has been defeated in the Dáil by 87 votes to 46.
