Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)

Section 46(4)(a) makes reference to reporting a matter "to the Chief Surveyor or any other surveyor of ships in the Marine Survey Office, Department of Transport". The section of the Bill dealing with authorised persons does not make reference to a chief surveyor; it revers to a "surveyor of ships", as do various other parts of the Bill. However, earlier sections do refer to a "Chief Surveyor". Is the definition of "authorised persons" elastic enough to include a chief surveyor?
