Pearse Doherty (Donegal South West, Sinn Fein)

I do not mean to hold us up, since our debate time is limited. For future reference, is it the case that, when one wants to propose an amendment on Report Stage, one does not need to announce it during the Committee Stage debate on the sections in question? Instead, one can announce it after the sections have been voted on by the Dáil. Is it in order with the rules of the House that an amendment can be announced at any time even though the section to which it refers has been debated and voted upon?
