The Bord Bia Bloom festival of food and gardening is underway in the Phoenix Park and will doubtless attract extra numbers as the sun shines all over the nation. Of course, it’s just as much about business as it is about the flowers and plants.

There’s also a business breakfast this morning with hundreds more food service providers and that will be steered by Jim O’Toole the chief executive of Bord Bia who spoke to Joe this morning on the show.
