Rocio Abad Ramos "visited Ireland for the first time in 1989 and came back five times. Our parents always encouraged us to learn English" says her sister, Paloma.

"She used to say 'I can see butter and peas everywhere' but in time she grew to love Irish cooking and would exchange recipes and make Spanish food for the Doherty family who she was saying with."

Paloma says Rocio was very curious and wanted to "know more about other cultures" and was "drawn to Irish culture".

"She had a family here, the Dohertys were her family here."

Paloma says Rocio was a "special person".

"I think there are some people who are special from the moment they are born," she says. "She was felt as somebody special, that's something my mother used to say.

"She was mature but also fun," adds Paloma.

Rocio was in a group of young people involved in church and would help people.

She walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain with vulnerable people, including ex-inmates.

Rocio Abad Ramos' sister Paloma is now speaking, using a translator.

She says Rocio was one of three sisters and, along with their parents, they were a happy family.

They had a large extended family. At Christmas they would go to her grandmother's house, where there would be around 36 of them, all singing Christmas carols.

They also spent many summers at a family house.

Rocio was very "outgoing," says Paloma.

"In fact I would call her extroverted. She would always be laughing and the first one to make a joke."

The inquiry is now back after lunch and the feed has now resumed.

Paul Greaney KC tells the inquiry there are two main themes from the personal statements made by victims' families and survivors.

The first is "the devastation and carnage caused by the bomb".

"Phrases such as 'mayhem, horrendous, unfolding chaos and pandemonium,' are used," he says.

"People recall harrowing sounds, smells, and the feeling of helplessness and terror".

"One witness, who was a child at the time, writes: 'It's a shocking thing to see adults around you reduced to childlike figures as we all struggled to comprehend what had happened.'"

Paul Greaney says the second theme to emerge from the accounts given to the inquiry is "the extraordinary tales of those who were helped, and by those who offered help".

"Stories of personal courage, compassion and kindness will be heard during the personal statements".

"Some of those who offered help were themselves injured," he adds.

Before the lunch break Paul Greaney says: "We have now introduced the evidence that will be given about each of those that were killed in the Omagh bombing, a record of terrible loss".

"What we said was intended to be no more than an introduction.

"We know that what the witnesses will go on to say will be more detailed and even more important".

She loved hockey and horse riding .

Fred White, who was 60, and his son Bryan, who was 27, were both killed in the attack.

Fred's wife, and Bryan's mum, Edith, says that for years she simply "could not accept that they were gone".

She writes of her "enduring loss" and of her hopes for this inquiry.

"I have felt a lot of anger over the years because of the delay and failure to get answers," she writes.

"I do not know how anyone could plant a bomb knowing it would kill innocent people".

"I am lost without my husband and son. I can still picture Fred and Bryan on the day of the bomb, and them telling me they would be back in a while," she says.

"Fred was my rock, and I loved him dearly."

Fred and Edith's daughter Lynda speaks of fond memories of her dad and brother, and says 1998 was supposed to be a "time of hope" for Northern Ireland.

She is described by her children "as very family orientated".

"She was active within the church and never had a bad word to say about anybody," Paul Greaney KC adds.

"She was the centre of her family...that she has missed many important family events only adds to this enormous loss her family and friends already feel."

Elizabeth 'Libby' Rush had a shop on Market Street which she ran for 27 years.

The inquiry heard that she was well known to be a good listener and people would call into the shop seeking her advice.

In their pen portrait of their mother, Elizabeth's children, Siobhan, Anthony and Andrew, speak of the hope that existed in 1998.

"The majority on both sides of the division voted for peace and reconciliation," they write.

"This transitional period was filled with hope and anticipation, yet we were cautious".

Reading from the statement, Paul Greaney KC says Libby's children write of how that hope was destroyed.

After she died, her husband wrote poems, speaking of his enduring love for her.

Sean's son describes the inquiry process as "difficult" but "necessary to tell you about the father I knew," a "positive, faithful, hard working" man who is "very much missed by all who knew him well".
