I understand the position. I know that we are coming to the end of the term but for future reference, it would be better to have amendments brought to the committee rather than flagging a matter. It is different when a Report Stage amendment is being flagged in circumstances where we may be able to return to it. When we know what it is, we would ask then on behalf of the committee that we would have a chance to consider it when it comes before us. This is rather than coming in and saying that an amendment will be made in the Seanad, when one knows what it is already and that it should be done at the committee in the first instance.
