'This is how much TikTok paid me for 391 million views,' Garron started, showing the stats page of his TikTok account.
'This is in one year, are you ready? Okay, here it is….' he said, before moving his head to reveal no income.
'NOTHING. Not a f****ng penny!' he said, explaining: 'We don't have the Creator Fund in Ireland. I should be rich. I should have been in space with Katy Perry.' @garron_music ♬ original sound – Garron Noone
'This is an injustice against the Irish people. Why don't we deserve money? We love money, it's one of our favourite things. I will not allow the Irish to be treated with such disrespect so I am campaigning to bring the TikTok Creator Fund to the Irish people. Look us in our eyes and stop stealing our money.'
He added: 'I know what you're thinking, 'Garron, you're just doing this for yourself, you couldn't give a f*** about anyone else,' and that is actually generally true, yeah.
'But to show you that this is for the good of my people, I pledge that if the TikTok Creator Fund comes to Ireland, I will donate every single penny I make from the fund to charity. Every cent, ever for the rest of time.

'Make it happen.'
The programme allows for content creators to earn an income from their views, but is unfortunately not available in Ireland despite TikTok having an office in Dublin.
Followers took to the comments to express the unfairness of the program being unavailable in Ireland with one writing: 'That's incredibly not fair!! Justice for deliciousness.'
Another added: 'Yes please pay Garron he deserves it.'
A third asked: 'Why isn't the creator fund in Ireland?? Tiktok get it sorted!'

He was actually born and raised in England with his early years spent in Dudley in the West Midlands region. He has Irish heritage via his dad's side of the family who traced back to Cork. Upon making inroads early on in his cycling career he opted to represent Ireland as opposed to England. Read More On Irish Sport In one chat with Cycling News, he laid out his family's Irish roots as well as how his initial decision to compete as an Irish rider was partly down to help him fulfil his dream of becoming a professional. He stated: "It's all from my dad's side. He wasn't born there but his grandparents and brothers and sisters were from Cork, and they moved over from Ireland in the 1970s for work-related reasons. "I felt it was a nice move for me and, if I'm completely honest, at first it was for the opportunities, but the family connection was there, and I do really feel like a part of Ireland now. "That side of the family is proud of what I've done, too - they all are obviously. I go back now and then, but not that often with racing." Most read in Cycling Ben's father Bryan was a cyclist himself in his youth so the sport was very much in the blood for him. He added: "It was through my dad. He just took me down to the local outdoor track one day in Halesowen. 'People believe what they want to believe' - Golf star Shane Lowry's prickly response to question about his drinking "He never really forced it on me but he took me along to some of the Sunday sessions and it just went from there. I enjoyed it and always wanted to keep going back. "I was probably five years old and carried on with that by trying to qualify for national omniums but I was never very good at it. "I quickly moved on from the track and actually got into mountain biking through my dad again. "I started racing XC and then always used road alongside that. It wasn't until I was a junior that I started to really focus on the road and leave mountain biking behind." GIRLFRIEND AND PET DOG Healy is in a long-term relationship with his artist girlfriend Martha. They have an adorable pet dog together. In an interview with He outlined: "At the moment, me and my girlfriend just recently got a puppy. I really love just walking and spending some time with my girlfriend and the dog. "Great downtime for me. It's a miniature dachshund called Olive. She's a girl. Super, super crazy dog, but we really love her and it's awesome."
