Journalist Rob Mulhern, a Naas man living in London, spoke with Clem Ryan on 'Kildare Today'.
Mulhern says people are reacting to restrictions "quite well" in the UK.
He has seen a shift in that mindset, and says people are now taking person responsibility, using their own good judgement.
Mulhern says he knows that many Irish people were surprised by the "looseness" of restrictions in the UK.
