IRSA INVERSIONES Y REPRESENTACIONES SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA

(THE “COMPANY”)

REPORT ON FORM 6-K

Attached is an English translation of the summary of the letter dated April 27, 2009 filed by the Company with the Comisión Nacional de Valores and the Bolsa de Comercio de Buenos Aires.

---

By letter dated April 27, 2009, the Company reported that following the ordinary course of its business, it continues to take advantage of the best opportunities to realize certain of the Company’s non-strategic assets for its subsequent reinvestment, as it was duly informed by letter dated January 30, 2009, filed with the Comisión Nacional de Valores.

Consequently, since then and until today, the Company has sold, through several deeds of transfer celebrated on the occasion of different transactions, certain office units, which represented a total of 15,144 gross leasable square meters, for a total of US$ 39.8 millions.

The Company highlights that from the amounts and meters informed in the previous paragraph, it has sold through several transactions, 12,396 gross leasable square meters for a total amount of U$S 30.7 millions during the last week.

This decision not only allows the Company to increase its financial strength, but also allows it to refocus in the execution of potential business opportunities that arise in the new market environment. On the other hand, the proceeds obtained from these transactions will be applied in the future in accordance with the commitments assumed by the Company, among others, those arising from its Notes due 2017.
