The compensation increment of more than €80,000 for the top government worker in the Department of Health, Robert Watt, was managed "casually" and needed straightforwardness and responsibility, as indicated by a draft report on the issue by a cross-party gathering of TDs and Senators.
The Oireachtas Finance Committee has been looking at the arrangement of Mr Watt to the situation in April on a compensation of €292,000 - extensively higher than the compensation of €211,000 he was paid in his past job as secretary general in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
Mr Watt consented to forgo the higher rate until the economy starts to recuperation.
The council is expected to distribute its last report on the issue one week from now.
A draft adaptation, seen by RTÉ News, says the manner in which the arrangement was taken care of "harmed public trust and dissolved trust in the arrangement of policy implementation".
It is especially disparaging of Mr Watt's underlying arrangement to the work, on a break premise. That interaction, it says, was done in an "specially appointed" way "following conversations among few senior authorities and individuals from the Government".
It says this was a "exceptionally helpless way of leading business" and is probably going to "make thump on requests for expanded compensations, in spite of protestations that the Department of Health is extraordinary and the conditions that emerged were one off in nature".
The report says: "No powerful assessments were completed and there was no benchmarking against comparable jobs so it can't be kept up with that this case won't prompt requests for future compensation ascends on a specially appointed premise."
In its decisions, the draft report expresses that "the board of trustees is hazy with respect to why the standard methodology of moving a current secretary general based on similar conditions and conditions didn't make a difference".
It makes various suggestions which it says are pointed toward guaranteeing a comparative circumstance doesn't emerge once more.
It suggests that between time arrangements "ought not be endorsed without clear and objective standards which guarantee the ensuing system is reasonable for all included."
It additionally says that a conventional job of Head of the Civil Service ought to be made "to guarantee sufficient oversight of Secretaries General thus that disciplinary issues can be managed, should they emerge".
