Paul Bradford (Fine Gael)

I am not sure if the Minister of State answered my question in relation to a person's entitlement to switch from the current scheme to the new scheme. I am sure I heard the Minister of State say in response to Senator Callely that they can do so. However, the section states: "a person in receipt of a relevant subvention immediately before the commencement of this subsection shall continue to be paid the relevant subvention until...". The section provides that they "shall" rather than "may" continue to be paid. At what point can the switch or transfer occur when it is stated in the section that they "shall" continue to be paid the relevant subvention?
