IT’S THE DYING hours of the Presidential 2011 campaign and the candidates are out in force, shaking hands, kissing babies, slapping backs and other last-minute voter contact activities.

Some have been posting pictorial evidence of what they are up to. If you have seen any of the Presidential candidates in action this morning and would like your pic included in our slideshow, please email them to us at news[at]thejournal.ie or tweet them to us @thejournal_ie.

Our Race for the Áras diary will tell you where they are today.

More as we get them!
