Zur deutschen Version dieses Artikels 
Requested on April 3rd (with a regular letter), e-mail confirmation of receipt on 9th – and yesterday the money arrived on my account. 
I’m talking about the Cashback campaign by Canon – which they handle in their Promotion Centre in Tipperary (Ireland), hence the title – for my new EOS 40D camera, and given several reports by others about periods of 6-8 or more weeks, I was quite surprised, in a positive way.
(Though it can’t balance the negative surprise caused by my tax bill, which also arrived yesterday, even remotely…)
