Partner of dead MP speaks out after Tartaglia remarks

THE partner of the MP whose death was linked to his sexuality by Glasgow's new Archbishop said he has been inundated with support from Scottish Catholics expressing their disgust at the remarks.

Dermot Kehoe, partner of the late David Cairns for 14 years, also contradicted reports he was due to meet Archbishop-elect Philip Tartaglia, insisting he had received no invite.

The Archdiocese of Glasgow said it would be up to Mr Kehoe to request such a meeting and that as yet none had been made.
