The clerk can write to the Accounting Officer and send a transcript of the issue you have raised. The same applies to the appointment of arbitrators in the case of Padmore & Barnes in Kilkenny; they were told they would have to wait 12 months. That delay does occur, and maybe the Department should be made aware of it. Perhaps a letter to the appropriate Departments would place it on record at this stage.
