Vintners' Federation of Ireland


The Vintners' Federation of Ireland is a trade association of publicans in Ireland. With over 4,000 members as at 2022, it lobbies vigorously on behalf of publicans.
The VFI only represents publicans outside Dublin. Its president is Paul Moynihan who runs a pub in County Wicklow. The VFI produces a bi-monthly magazine VFI Voice.
Dublin publicans are represented by the Licensed Vintners Association, a longer-established organisation. In 2014 the LVA and VFI floated the possibility of merging, but as at 2022 this has not happened.
