Not being able to use irc: links within posts is only part of the problem. It is also impossible to add irc: links to the sidebar using the Site Admin interface (link manager) -- they will always be prefixed by http:// . For sidebar links, it is impossible to work around this problem, since there is no graphical editor you could turn off to avoid filtering.
I'll attach a patch to wp-admin/admin-functions.php that fixes this other half of the problem.

It is not correct to conclude that "IRC can't be linked from a blog." You just have to be an admin so that your HMTL isn't filtered by KSES.
A patch is attached. Is there any reason an admin would not want this as an allowed protocol?
