Hundreds of Irish people may have unknowingly invested in the now-collapsed German Property Group, and do not realise they have been "burned", a solicitor representing affected clients has said.

The collapse of the German Property Group, formerly called Dolphin Trust, which went into insolvency administration in Bremen last year, put into question more than €1bn the German firm had collected across the world, including Korea, France, and the UK, as well as in Ireland.
