    Try Colloquy - it's different from mIRC though, but it's FREE!

    Colloquy's actually quite unique once you get used to it.

    There's also XChat - so if you're used to the Windows version, you should feel right at home. Unfortunately, it hasn't seen any development for over a year, but it'll still handle basic IRC stuff fine.

    Transmit is probably the best of the bunch, but it's not free.

    Xchat has a script function, but not many scripts.
