In his paper [1], W. D. Munn determines the irreducible matrix representations of an arbitrary inverse semigroup. Munn also gives a necessary and sufficient condition upon a 0-simple inverse semigroup for it to have a non-trivial matirx representation and for such semigroups gives a complete account of their representations. Munn's results rest upon the earlier work of Clifford [2] in which the representations of Brandt semigroups were determined. An alternative account of such representations was given by Munn in [3]. This earlier work is presented in Sections 5.2 and 5.4 of [4].
