The chairman of the board of governors at Holy Cross School in north Belfast has cautioned against any legal action to stop the broadcast of a television documentary.
It has been suggested a parent of one of the school's pupils was considering seeking an injunction to prevent a drama of the dispute being broadcast on television this week. The joint RTE/BBC Northern Ireland production is due to be broadcast on RTE on Saturday and BBC the following Monday.
Nationalists and loyalists in the Ardoyne area are both unhappy at the screening of the drama.
Father Aidan Troy said he was fearful the programme, which includes real footage of the violent disturbances in 2001, will reignite harsh feelings between the two communities.
Cautioning against legal action, he said: "I think it would be very costly and it would be very unlikely that it would succeed. This is a dramatisation of a public story. I wouldn't be in favour of legal action at all."
Around 40 parents have been invited to a special screening of the 90-minute programme on Wednesday.
Loyalist residents are unhappy too. Jim Potts, a community worker in the area, said he was opposed to the programme.
"We weren't happy about it in the first instance when they started asking for people to be involved in it," he said.
"The consensus in the area was that no-one would participate in it. It is only going over old hurtful ground again."
Residents from the loyalist area will be at a separate screening of the programme. Fr Troy said he was concerned that the programme makers wouldn't understand the sensitivities that surround the issue.
"It is very soon after the event for this to be screened. I gave the example that 30 years after Bloody Sunday there is still a lot of emotion. We still have the same children, same parents, same teachers and the same protesters.
"There is a lot of danger out there and we don't want anything to happen.
"There is nothing worse than those children having to face any more difficulty.
"My own personal opinion is that this can pass off with out any consequence. But I think there is the potential for difficulty. I just hope it doesn't emerge."
Fr Troy said the situation within the school was "very good" at the minute
"The school is operating at a very satisfactory level," he said.
"There's obviously things that are still causing concern. There is a police presence on the school everyday which wouldn't be normal.
"But if you were to go into the school in the morning, you would find a very content and a very happy school with very good teaching going on."
The last trouble was in September when loyalist paramilitaries admitted to planting a pipe bomb device at the school. The Holy Cross movie was filmed in Liverpool last summer because producers were told it would be too dangerous to work in Belfast.
