Jul 13, 2020 at 17:36 comment added Yemon Choi A belated addition to these comments: if the representation is a unitary one, then we are in the setting of topologically irreducible $*$-representations of ${\rm C}^*$-algebras on Hilbert spaces, and it turns out that these are all automatically algebraically irreducible: this is Kadison's transitivity theorem en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadison_transitivity_theorem

Aug 10, 2015 at 1:24 comment added Eric Wofsey In the unitary case (or more generally, if the group $G$ is closed under taking adjoints), the ring $D$ is a von Neumann algebra and so there is a lot you can say. In particular, for instance, by spectral theory $D$ is generated by its projections.

Added the question titles, which I think convey some useful information for those hesitant about following the links.
