The weekend is almost upon us...

As you may expect we're quite busy at present preparing for the weekend. You can be assured RTÉ will bring you all the coverage you need, it's possible to check out just how much the elections will feature in our broadcasting in the coming days right here.

We've also put together a very quick photo gallery of the Election 2009 studio being prepared, see that by clicking here. Over the weekend on RTÉ.ie we will have a continuously updated tracker, reports from journalists in count centres across the country and photographs from the main count centre, the RDS. Not mention a few blog reports to keep you satisfied.
