The applicant submitted the following statement in support of this application. Spelling, grammar and punctuation in the statement are shown exactly as written by the applicant on the City Questionnaire.
I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“First of all I already hold a real estate license in the state of AZ which is currently active and have been an active trusted agent for 12 years. Additionally, I have worked at the Dubliner since 2004 going full time in 2008 under the current majority owner (John OConnell) who is now my partner. I have completed my title 4 plus mgmt classes + certifications I have worked alongside not only the current owner but also many employees that have been there 25 years. We are a family and always work as a team to keep our business a success and customers happy. I am dedicated to keeping up the charitable works, fundraisers, food drives, toy drives that we do for the community. We are a first responders bar that has held several events for various Maricopa county fire departments. With the circumstances of cancer not only affecting my own son, our late manager and many of our large family of customers we hold the St. Baldrick's event for Phoenix Children's every year. I am dedicated to keeping us a positive addition to the community and continue to keep our family of staff and customers together and continue to give them a special place to gather meet new friends and run into old ones. I have always done my best to uphold our standards and will continue to train others to do so well. With the help of the current long time owner we plan on running business as usual and keep our Pub a place that is loved by so many.”
