Cork actress Patricia Twomey who starred in the critically acclaimed film Small Things Like These said she is “fully behind” the plan to transform the former Magdalene laundry on Dublin's Sean McDermott Street into a National Remembrance Centre.

The 77-year-old from Blarney Street played Sr Frances in the movie, which starred fellow Cork native Cillian Murphy, and praised campaigners for helping make the museum a reality.
