The Licensed Vintners Association (LVA) is the trade association and representative body for the publicans of Dublin. It is one of the oldest trade associations in the country with an unbroken history tracing back to its foundation in 1817.
The purpose of the Association is to represent the publicans of Dublin and to protect and promote their strategic business interests.
We are a membership-based organisation and are funded via membership subscriptions.
The LVA has approximately 700 members and collectively represents well over 90% of all publicans in Dublin. Our members sell over a quarter of the alcohol sold through the licensed trade in Ireland. They play a pivotal role in the business, social and cultural life of our Capital city.
