People Before Profit (Irish: Pobal Seachas Brabús, PBP) is a Trotskyist political party formed in October 2005.

"[16] The Socialist Environmental Alliance (SEA) was a political party which operated in Northern Ireland, based largely in the city of Derry.

[17] The SEA contested the Northern Ireland Assembly 2003 election in the East Londonderry and Foyle seats (reflecting the party's Derry base).

[17][22] People Before Profit contested several constituencies in the 2007 general election, polling around 9,000 first preferences, with Richard Boyd Barrett—the candidate in the Dún Laoghaire constituency—missing a seat on the 10th and final count by 7,890 votes to 9,910.

[24][25] PBP unsuccessfully ran one candidate, Sean Mitchell, in the 2007 Northern Ireland Assembly election, polling 774 first preference votes (2.3% of the total) in the Belfast West constituency.

[27] In the Republic's 2009 local elections People Before Profit ran twelve candidates, including ten in County Dublin.

[33] In the June 2011 Belfast West by-election, Gerry Carroll received 1,751 votes (7.6%), coming in third place and ahead of both unionist candidates.

[51] In January 2019, Dublin City Councillor John Lyons resigned from the party due to disputes with the leadership.

[55] The party stood two candidates in the 2019 United Kingdom general election, with their best performance being by Gerry Carroll in the Belfast West seat: he came second with 16%.

[58][59][60] On 28 February 2021, RISE, a democratic socialist party that had previously split from Solidarity in 2019, merged with People Before Profit.

[61] On 10 May 2021, the party announced that Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown Councillor Hugh Lewis was no longer a member of People Before Profit, "following an internal disciplinary procedure.

[13][66] However, People Before Profit do not accept this label, with their website stating that "Trotskyist is the Labour Party's bizarre code word for anyone with strong left-wing principles".

[74][75] Commenting on their pro-Brexit position, Gerry Carroll stated "We made a decision to say that the EU does not operate in the interests of working people anywhere, and the strongest example of that is Greece.

"[76] Members of Sinn Féin criticised this stance, saying that supporting Brexit, tactically or otherwise, aligned People Before Profit with British parties such as the Conservatives, UKIP, the Democratic Unionist Party and Traditional Unionist Voice and regardless of People Before Profit's intentions, this would serve the pro-Brexit agenda.

[68] People Before Profit supports nationalising the "major Agri-corporations" and using them to finance a “just transition” for farmers and rural Ireland.

[81] In 2023, People Before Profit published a document which said that the Irish military and police force (Garda Siochana) would commit a coup d'état on behalf of "wealthy elites" against any prospective left-wing government that formed in Ireland.

Simon Coveney and Neale Richmond of Fine Gael have suggested it is contradictory for PBP to support sanctions against Israel but not against Russia.
