Catherine Corless is played by English actor Monica Dolan in the film.

Corless noted that Dolan had to develop a Galway accent for the role, which she said the actress did “very well”.

“She wanted to actually become me, to get into the knitty gritty of the efforts that I had to put in,” Corless said of Dolan.

“She portrayed me just as myself. I was amazed at what she was able to do,” she said.

“She went to the extremes, really, to get the feeling and the emotion I went through and the struggle.”

Corless added: “She did it so, so well, I must say that, she really did.”

The film was awarded Best Irish Film Award at the 38th Galway Film Fleadh in July.

The Lost Children of Tuam opened in cinemas in Ireland on 25 September and it is scheduled for UK release on 9 October.
