Thanks for joining us.

Today we heard from six witnesses and survivors of the Real IRA attack, including:

• David McSwiggan was in town with his friends on the day of the attack. Hewas treated for a sprained ankle, perforated eardrums, superficial shrapnel cuts and minor burns.
• Jim Sharkey ran the newsagents on Market Street. He said he was treated for his cuts and had his arm put in a sling. He told the inquiry of the people he saw that day who were killed.
• Lisa McGonigle was organising children for the carnival float that day. Once she heard of the attack she rushed to hospital to check on them. Ms McGonigle spent two hours in the hospital.
• Suzanne Travis and her mother were shopping in Omagh that day. She had her leg amputated and a blood transfusion. Her mother was in a coma for a week after suffering severe injuries.
• Margaret Murphy was a nurse at the time and after hearing about the attack she drove to Tyrone hospital where she began treating multiple adults and children.
• Nichola Donnelly was working in a shop at the time. She was blown through a shop window by the bomb's force. They closed wounds on both feet, her right wrist, her buttock, the two on her left leg and left shin. Shrapnel, stone and glass were also removed from her face.

Lord Turnbull says he is "grateful" for Ms Donnelly's strength, and her account provides the inquiry with a further understanding of how "awful" it was to be caught up in the explosion.

He says it provides an insight into those who needed treatment and the "challenging" time for the medical staff.

Lord Turnbull says in the evidence Ms Donnelly and other witnesses have given, the inquiry have become aware of the mental health issues they have endured, and they intend to give thought to them in due course.

Moving to her parents home for three months, Ms Donnelly recalls the “endless physio appointments” that helped with her recovery and the help and continued support of her GP, Wave Support Group, family and friends.

She says “as the years have gone on, I think it has gotten worse. I’m in pain daily. My mobility had decreased awfully and mental health has suffered because of this incident".

She finishes by thanking the inquiry team for “their professionalism and sensitivity".

Ms Donnelly says they also closed the wounds on both feet, her right wrist, her buttock and left shin.

She says the "two large gashes on my left leg were left open for a further week to clean the debris from them".

She spent the first week in intensive care then spent a week in a surgical ward after the two wounds were closed.

Ms Donnelly said she had to learn to walk again and was sent home with a wheelchair.

Ms Donnelly says she got a seat in casualty and people wrapped in sheets started to come in.

As the room started to get full, she says they started to use the corridors.

She says her mum and dad came, but as she sat in the chair the blood was "pooling".

A doctor came and briefly assessed everyone to know where to put people.

Her friend, who was a nurse, came and started treating Ms Donnelly.

She says she was "frozen" to the seat and it was too painful to move to the ward.

Two men were called to lift her chair and take her to the ward.

After she assessed she was sent to a hospital in Enniskillen.

She travelled with a young boy who wouldn't speak.

Ms Donnelly says when she got to Enniskillen she was on a stretcher for a long time before she was taken to surgery to have shrapnel, stone and glass removed from her face.

One of the girls Ms Donnelly had previously been speaking to came “running towards” her “screaming". The girl asked for the driver of a car that had stopped to take them to hospital.

She recalls a lady being upset but is unsure of who got into the car. She says the girl she was speaking with was with her. Using a payphone, the girl called Ms Donnelly’s mother and “told her to get Adrian", her husband.

A nurse had "tried" to get Ms Donnelly into the waiting room, "tears were down her cheeks".

Ms Donnelly says the next thing she remembers was an "almighty force".

She says it felt like she was being pulled, and there was all these "yellow and orange colours".

After that her nose was blocked with dust and debris, and her body felt heavy, she says.

Ms Donnelly says she started to lift the debris off her. She managed to stand up but she was "frozen" she couldn't move.

She says she could see out to the street, she didn't know at the time but she had been blown through the shop window.

Ms Donnelly says she saw a man she knew tried to lift her up but because of her injuries it hurt. He called over another man, and between them they took one leg each and carried her to where the local toilets were.

She says when she looked down her clothes were ripped to shreds, and her feet were burning, so she took of her sandals and realised her feet had a "large gash".

"I was crying and was in total shock," she says.

Ms Donnelly recalls her colleague leaving to chat with people she knew. Ms Donnelly asked the remaining colleague if they should cross over to the other side of the street as the sun was shining there.

Standing outside McElroys shoe shop, herself and the colleague were chatting to “some other girls” that she knew.

“Two ladies came along and stopped to talk and said ‘girls, this is no hoax. This is the real thing'.”

She recalls seeing the lady smiling as she walked away.

A statement from Nichola Donnelly is now being read out to the inquiry.

Ms Donnelly was working in a shop on 15 August 1998, she says it was a normal busy Saturday.

She says a customer told her that police were moving people down to the bottom of the town due to a bomb scare.

Ms Donnelly says they closed the store and headed in the same direction as the crowd.

She says they kept waking until they came across a crowd at the bottom of the town.

As they stood outside the shop they did not realise they were beside the car with the bomb.

Lord Turnbull thanks Ms Murphy for her “further dimension to the understanding of the inquiry".

He acknowledges "the enormous contribution that medical staff made that day".

Ms Murphy says she was "quickly" treating a number of injuries, she says she remembers placing three children on mats next to each other.

Ms Murphy says her area of work cleared by 19:30 to 20:00 GMT.

She remembers a mother coming in looking for her daughter, she says she took her to where casualties were being brought to.

Ms Murphy says it was then realised the "magnitude" of what was really happening.

It was there the mother had learned that her daughter had passed away.

On her way out the door, Ms Murphy remembers hugging a community nurse and crying together as the nurse's mother had been injured.

Ms Murphy recalls getting into her car, driving to the A&E department in the Tyrone County Hospital.

She stopped by “a very disoriented police officer" who was “redirecting traffic from the bottom of the town".

She spoke with the officer, who had “no hat on and a loose tie”, informing him that she would take the back road to the hospital.

Upon arriving, she walked in side door “only to be standing in a room with a family, crying over their mother who had died".

Moving into the main department, she asked staff “where do you want me?”. Staff directed her to a clinic opposite the A&E department.

The inquiry is now hearing from Margaret Murphy who is reading her statement out.

Ms Murphy was in Omagh visiting her family on the day of the bombing.

She says while she was sitting in the yard of the home she heard a "massive bang".

She saw smoke fill the air, a passerby shouted up to ask her to go help the people as she was a nurse.

But Ms Murphy was sceptical as the loud bang had just happened and there was nothing else out of the ordinary.

She says no one had any injuries as they were so far away, and there was no one who knew what had happened in the area.

Lord Turnbull thanks Ms Travis for “her account”, saying that it provides “meaning to what would otherwise be unimaginable violence, deliberately inflicted on shoppers on a busy summers day".

He adds: “It’s also clear that you’ve continued to suffer from those consequences in many different ways throughout all of the years that have passed.”

Having lived in London in her younger years, Ms Travis says her father said relocating back to Northern Ireland was the "worst decision he had ever made" because of the devastation it caused Ms Travis, her mother and brother.

She says not a day goes by where she is not in pain or uncomfortable, each day she faces the "grim" reality of putting on a prosthetic leg.

Ms Travis says it was the "worst day of our lives and would result in my mother and I living with lifelong disabilities".

She says the men who carried out the atrocity drove away that day and left behind "carnage, devastation and suffering".

"They didn't care they ruined many many lives, mine included, and for what?" she says.

She calls their actions "cowardly" and "wicked".

Ms Travis says a consultant has realised leg infections she has been experiencing were becoming more frequent because of the shrapnel in her leg, which are being removed at the end of February 2025.

She says suffering from PTSD has made life more difficult. When a child at Ms Travis' school died she felt scared to go to work as the fear came "flooding back".

Since the attack Ms Travis got married and had two children. She says as they have grown up they have noticed her injuries and started to ask questions, but she didn't go into details as to "shelter them". Only in recent times they have gained more of an understanding.

"It's only when you can't do something you realise I'm disabled," she says.

Ms Travis remembers one time being away on holiday, and the children wanted to go swimming and it was "hard" because she hadn't swam since the attack so she sat in the viewing gallery because she "didn't have the confidence".

She adds how long walks are uncomfortable and you have sit down after.

"I have just had to learn to live with it," she says.

Travis speaks about her “close circle of friends” applying for jobs in Liverpool and she then also did the same.

Upon successfully securing a teaching job in Liverpool, Ms Travis remains there “to this day".

She worked full time hours for about five years before decreasing to two days a week, “a direct result of the injuries, sustained in the bombing".

“The phantom pain, the nerve pain and recurring leg infections have increased making it difficult to hold down my job.”

She says she now has “constant hospital appointments” relating to “some aspect of her injuries".

“As I’m getting older, life is getting harder.”

Ms Travis says she has had problems with her prosthetic limb. She eventually was able to walk again, but she says it was "nowhere as easy as it was before, it was painful, it rubbed, sometimes it would hurt so bad I wasn't able to wear it".

Over the past 26 years she says she realised this was all part of having an amputated limb.

When she returned to university in April 1999 she found it difficult leaving her mum, but her mother didn't want her missing out.

In 2001, Ms Travis graduated with the class she joined university with.

During her time at university she says she had weekly counselling sessions.

She says it was hard going back to Liverpool as she had a disability and she was without her family.

"The reality was setting in then about how my life had changed," she says.

Ms Travis says "life had just completely changed" as there was always someone from a caring capacity coming into the house, showing her how to get to the toilet or how to wash herself.

She says the university had been in touch with her family while she was in hospital and her personal teacher had flew over to see her after the attack, to "reassure her not to worry" about her degree, which she was undertaking at a university in Liverpool.

Ms Travis says she doesn't remember making the decision but she had conversations about how to make university work so she wouldn't miss anytime in her second year of studying. Ms Travis continued to study remotely from Northern Ireland.
