The technological means are easy - have the router drop packets with the
TCP SYN flag set destined for whatever port number IRC uses (6667?).

The monitoring is easy - a firewall rule to allow but log said traffic.
We'll need people watching logs anyway.

Incidentally that's one of the advantages of running an IDS ;)
