Free Sky TV, new dentures, and rogue fortune tellers: The bizarre requests made of election candidates

From requests to find a wife to ending a drink-driving ban, this year's general election candidates reveal the weird and whacky requests they have received over their years in politics

'An elderly gentleman called to see me in the office. He thought he had lost his dentures in UHW [University Hospital Waterford] and wanted me to find them or get him a new set.'

Replacement dentures, sanctions for a rogue fortune teller, and free Sky Sports TV — these are just some of the weird and whacky requests made of this year’s election hopefuls.

The public’s most outlandish asks have failed to put a dampener on the current crop of candidates' political ambitions. They have, at times, even proved amusing.
