From my IRC experience's, unfortunately on the majority of the
published IRC networks, Tor IP address have been banned. You may get
logged in to the server, but generally, you will get klined or even
glined in a few minutes. ( the gline and kline are just a different
type of network ban )

This may vary from net work to net work and I have seen some actually
get thru and stay logged in. Obviously the Tor's channel on the IRC
network they are on as far as I know they have no issues with the
proxy's

If your looking for a IRC network to use Tor, you may have to just go
thru the posted listing of networks and see which ones let you in.

Sometimes it is also a hit and miss.   Gud luck
