Newspeak is a full-featured, Cocoa-based and Aqua-compliant IRC client.
It allows:
*multiple server connections
*file transfer support
*window transparency
*rules-based message filtering
*text-to-speech
...and more.
You can go directly to a tag by searching for 'tag:yourtag'. You can also
search within the apps tagged with that word by adding another word. For
example 'tag:browser plugin'.

Works fine connecting normally here........
but here is a list of known bugs (seeing as it's opensource :)
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=149977&atid=776399
irssi proxy (http://www.garion.org/irssi/irssi-proxy.php or http://www.irssi.org/documentation/proxy) isn't mentioned :S
If you don't want a cocoa based IRC prog, and would rather use a text based (irssi) one, have you tried this http://osx.iusethis.com/app/irssi ?
I couldn't get it to connect to my irssi proxy :(
