Incidentally, accessing IRC chat channels is an entirely different matter.
You have to have an IRC client, first of all.
I recommend Konversation or Xchat for the newb, or, Seamonkey browser,
which also includes e-mail, composer, and irc chat.
(IRSSI is the best IRC client, but not for n00bs)
There are numerous IRC clients available in our repos, to my knowledge.

How were you trying to access IRC?
Do you have an IRC client?
It would seem you've never used IRC before.
It is not like MSN or AIM or Yahoo! Messenger.  It is a completely
different animal.
