Come April 1 you will find out
I assume you mean this:
"5.5
Aer Lingus may at its discretion downgrade the Member's Tier level if they have not earned the required Tier Credits or travelled on the required number of Sectors in the AerClub Qualification Period. Tier Credits earned prior to the beginning of the relevant AerClub Qualification Period will not be counted for this purpose."

Also as a side note I saw this and didn't realise that upgrades purchased at the airport (assuming at check in) are in theory at least not eligible for the extra tier credits

"Upgrades purchased on the day of travel at the airport and upgrades that have been purchased using the 'Upgrade Yourself' bidding process only the original booking element of the fare is eligible for Tier Credits; the upgrade element of the fare is not eligible for Tier Credits."
