Their annual conference gets underway in Limerick today.
Publicans are calling on the Government to treat them all equally.
The Vintners Federation will meet in Limerick today for their annual general conference.
The Federation says the majority of publicans do not serve food and will be at a commercial disadvantage if the government moves ahead with its present plan to apply a reduced rate to publicans who do.
It's also calling for a 40 per cent rebate on the excise charged to draught products sold in pubs.
Former President of the Vintners Federation of Ireland, Offaly Fine Gael TD John Clendennen says businesses need to watch their cost to remain viable:
