Eventually say the main thing is to reach the tip (3,2,3,5)

I believe the answer is:

get to the point

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'eventually say the main thing is' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'reach the tip' is the wordplay.
'reach' becomes 'get to' (getting to is a kind of reaching).
'tip' becomes 'point' (both can mean the end of something).
'getto'+'the'+'point'='GET TO THE POINT'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for get to the point that I've seen is " Stop waffling!".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
