Dee Forbes, Director-General, RT said: "Bloom has become one of RT 's most important public events and gives us a valuable opportunity to meet our audience and showcase our services. Our partnership with Bord Bia and Bloom goes from strength to strength and we are delighted to play our part in such a successful event. We've worked hard to develop a diverse range of live programming across RT 's television, radio, online and mobile services over the five days and hope visitors to Bloom will visit our set to say hello and enjoy some great RT entertainment."
