If the patients main residence (asset) was transferred over for zero money to her son 4 years ago, does the patient still pay the 7.5% value of the market value of the property?

On AAM there are many posts on Fair Deal and various links.
I think the above mentioned http://myfairdeal.ie/ site with its calculator and their explanation of the scheme, terms, conditions, important notes etc is the best and most informative one stop shop for anyone considering Fair Deal.
