I have no objection to taking Committee Stage now, but I would like to make a point of order. This is a catch-all Bill that deals with everything from revoking people's citizenship to amending the Broadcasting Act and a range of other issues. Fundamental issues are being included now that were not debated on Second Stage. The Leas-Cheann Comhairle might advise me whether Committee Stage is the right time - perhaps it is not - to make some amendments to the Minister's amendments, which we only saw last week. I have tabled four amendments to one of the Minister's amendments. One has been ruled out of order. I will make the point now and I ask the Chair to reflect on it. Amendment No. 2 to the Minister's amendment has been ruled out of order by the Ceann Comhairle as it is not relevant to the main amendment.

Is it appropriate to make a point about that now?
