Fifty Shades of Grey finally gets a release nationwide today and it is certainly the topic of choice for everyone... including former Ministers.

During an interview with Jonathan Healy today, former Fianna Fail Minister for Education, Mary O'Rourke spoke about the reform of the junior cert but she also let us in on a secret... she's a fan of Fifty Shades.

Mary told Jonathan that she's going to see the film today: "I'm going to that this evening at half three.

"I never read the book but I'm going with a friend of mine, a married couple. They have both read the book."

Jonathan asked does she know what's in it to which she responded: "Well, I do. Of course I do. I'm looking forward to viewing it. And I'm not giggling at all."
