1. Ircle
   
2. Macirc
   Important: Current versions of MacIRC no longer supported per current April 2004 Google cached page
   Macirc but there are details at Macirc
   The actual old MACirc site www.macirc.com cannot now be displayed
   Another is:-
   
3. Snak
   
4. a free client recommended by a MAC using Lightfoot fan (click the graphic)

And there is a useful site
"Help for Macintosh IRC client applications"
