THE owner of one of Tyrone’s best-known outdoor attractions has spoken of his overwhelming relief at finally getting the go-ahead to reopen his business this Friday.
Straight-talking entrepreneur, Benny O’Hanlon, of Todds Leap Outdoor Activity Centre, near Ballygawley, told the Tyrone Herald, “The handcuffs have been removed.”
In further good news for people across the county, the Northern Ireland Executive has agreed to let close-contact services, such as hairdressers, barbers and beauticians, resume at the end of this week, along with outdoor attractions.

Mr O’Hanlon said he was delighted to receive confirmation that Todds Leap could reopen, but added that there was a “bit of trepidation” after being shut for so long.
