Micheál Martin has apologised over the use of a photograph he did not have permission to use in one of his first TikTok videos.

The street artist who took it, known as Asbestos, demanded the video containing the photo be taken down as soon as he found out about its use, asking for for an apology and a contribution to a housing charity.
