Garron Noone has made a pledge that he would donate 'every single penny' he earns from video-sharing platform TikTok 'for the rest of time' on one condition. The Mayo native, who is known for his catchphrase 'I'm Delicious,' boasts 1.9 million followers, with his videos featuring everything from how to make the perfect cuppa to tongue-in-cheek reactions to current affairs stories. The content creator shared a glimpse at the insights of his account on Saturday evening as he launched a campaign 'for the good of my people.' Garron Noone has made a pledge that he would donate 'every single penny' he earns of video-sharing platform TikTok 'for the rest of time' on one condition. Pic: RTÉ '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.

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!' have contacted TikTok for comment.
