'fellow irishman in charge of the organ' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'fellow irishman in charge of' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'he' ('he' refers to a man).
'irishman' becomes 'Pat' (Patrick is a common Irish name).
'in charge of' becomes 'ic'.
'he'+'pat'+'ic'='HEPATIC'
