    Plans to mark sinking's 100th anniversary

    A town in Ireland is considering whether to mark the 100th anniversary of one of the Island's worst wartime disasters.

    In October 1918, the SS Dundalk was sunk by a German sub just off the Island's south coast.

    A total of 19 people lost their lives when the vessel went down, and a commemorative window was installed in Peel cathedral.

    Now, a committee in Dundalk says it wants to raise money towards a permanent memorial to those who lost their lives.
