After bodies were placed into the body bags, Mr Quigley said he physically checked them to identify the head from the feet so they could be put on stretchers in the correct way.
He told the inquiry that they moved into the “body recovery stage”, and he had to source additional body bags from fire service and military as there was only a limited number in each ambulance.
Richard Quigley told the Omagh Bombing Inquiry that he remembers seeing dead bodies lined up in rows in a temporary morgue, stating it was a scene that “should only have been seen in a movie”.
A paramedic who responded to the Omagh bombing has recalled the shock of not being able to identify the heads or feet of victims in body bags following the massacre.
Mr Quigley said the ambulances drove the bodies to a temporary morgue which had been set up in a gym in an army barracks.
