It s encouraging Dublin publicans to contact their local politicians to ask that all pubs be allowed to reopen for outdoor service next month.
Pubs across Ireland shut their doors on 15 March last year and so-called wet pubs in Dublin have not reopened their doors since. This represents approximately one third of all pubs in Dublin.
Pubs in the UK were given the green light to resume outdoor service on 12 April and Northern Ireland has given venues permission to resume indoor and outdoor dining from 24 May.
The LVA said outdoor activity is widely acknowledged as being relatively safe and believes the end of May represents a reasonable timeframe for this activity to recommence.

The Licensed Vintners Association has urged all Dublin publicans to contact their local politicians today to demand that people be allowed to have a pint outside again from May 24.
Pubs that don’t serve food in Dublin have been closed since March 15 last year due to the rule that customers must have a €9 meal in order to be served a pint.
