Let and let be the standard basis of its real regular representation, with modulo three. SetBoth are invariant, they are orthogonal, andThe line is the trivial representation. On the plane , the generator acts as a rotation through . Such a rotation has no real eigenline, so has no nonzero proper invariant real subspace and is irreducible.
