                  This  Amendment  No. 7 to  Schedule  13D  relates to shares of
Common  Stock,  with a Ps. 1 nominal  (par)  value  (one  Argentine  peso)  (the
"Shares"),  of IRSA  Inversiones y  Representaciones  S.A. (the "Issuer").  This
Amendment  No. 7  supplementally  amends the Initial  Statement  on Schedule 13D
dated December 29, 1997 and all subsequent amendments thereto (collectively, the
"Initial  Statement")  filed by the Reporting  Persons.  This Amendment No. 7 on
Schedule 13D is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report that, as a result
of the recent  transfer of GDSs  representing  Shares in a privately  negotiated
transaction,  the number of Shares of which  certain  Reporting  Persons  may be
deemed the beneficial owners has decreased by more than one percent of the total
number of  outstanding  Shares.  Capitalized  terms used but not defined  herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial  Statement.  The Initial
Statement is supplementally amended as follows.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                  (a) (i)    Geosor may be  deemed  the beneficial  owner of the
13,704,518  Shares  held  for  its  account,   which  includes   1,306,430  GDSs
(approximately 7.18% of the total number of Shares outstanding).

                      (ii)   Each of SFM LLC and Mr. Druckenmiller may be deemed
the  beneficial  owner of the  1,999,250  Shares held for the account of Quantum
Realty (approximately 1.05% of the total number of Shares outstanding).

                      (iii)  Mr. Soros may  be deemed  the  beneficial  owner of
15,703,768   Shares   (approximately   8.23%  of  the  total  number  of  Shares
outstanding).  This number  consists of (A) the  13,704,518  Shares held for the
account of Geosor and (B) the  1,999,250  Shares held for the account of Quantum
Realty.

                  (b) (i)    Pursuant to the contract between Quantum Realty and
SFM LLC,  SFM LLC may be deemed to have the sole  power to direct the voting and
disposition of the 1,999,250 Shares held for the account of Quantum Realty.

                      (ii)   Pursuant to contract between Quantum Realty and SFM
LLC and as a result of the  positions  held by Mr.  Soros and Mr.  Druckenmiller
with SFM LLC, each of Mr. Soros and Mr.  Druckenmiller may be deemed to have the
shared power to direct the voting and  disposition of the 1,999,250  Shares held
for the account of Quantum Realty.

                      (iii)  Each  of  Geosor   and  Mr.   Soros  (as  the  sole
shareholder  and person  ultimately  in control of Geosor) may be deemed to have
the sole power to direct the voting and  disposition  of the  13,704,518  Shares
held for the account of Geosor.

                  (c) Except for the sale by Geosor on August 9, 1999 of 935,456
GDSs  representing  9,354,560 Shares at a price per GDS of $30 ($3.00 per Share)
in a privately  negotiated  transaction,  there have been no  transactions  with
respect  to the  Shares  since  July 23,  1999  (the  date of filing of the last
statement on Schedule 13D) by any of the Reporting Persons or Quantum Realty.

                  (d) (i)   The shareholders of Quantum Realty have the right to
participate in the receipt of dividends  from, or proceeds from the sale of, the
Shares held for the account of Quantum Realty in accordance with their ownership
interests in Quantum Realty.

                      (ii)  Mr. Soros,  the sole shareholder of Geosor, has the
right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale
of, the Shares held for the account of Geosor.

                  (e)  Each of SFM LLC and Mr.  Druckenmiller  ceased  to be the
beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Shares on August 9,1999.

         The  information  set forth  above  excludes  1,397,874  Shares  (which
assumes  conversion  of 2,500  GDSs) held for the  account  of  Quantum  Dolphin
Limited ("Quantum  Dolphin"),  an Isle of Man corporation.  Geosor,  certain SFM
clients and certain  Managing  Directors of SFM LLC are  shareholders of Quantum
Dolphin.  Gary  Gladstein  serves as a director  of Quantum  Dolphin  and of the
Issuer.  An  affiliate  of  SFM  LLC  (the  "Affiliate")  has  entered  into  an
arrangement with Consultores Asset Management, S.A. ("Consultores"), the manager
of Quantum Dolphin, whereby it provides non-discretionary consulting services to
Consultores.  Pursuant  to such  arrangement,  the  Affiliate  does not have the
authority to make any management or investment  decisions for Quantum Dolphin or
Consultores.  The  Reporting  Persons  understand  that  pursuant  to a separate
arrangement, Consultores may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power
with respect to Quantum Dolphin's investment in the Shares.

          Each of SFM LLC and Mr.  Druckenmiller  expressly disclaims beneficial
ownership  of any Shares not held for the  account  of  Quantum  Realty.  Geosor
expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any Shares not held for its account.
Mr. Soros expressly  disclaims  beneficial  ownership of any Shares not held for
the accounts of Quantum Realty and/or Geosor.
