With respect to the use of ”ir” as an irirregular intensifier prefix, one cannot be irirresolute, but must be irirreconcilable, irirrespective of irirremeable though irirrelevant views of the purist grammarians, who refuse iriresistibly to abandon their irirrational and irirreverent position.

This is the first I have ever seen irirregular and all of those other irirs that you list. irregular means not regular, the opposite of regular. The opposite of irregular is regular, not irregular. The reason it is desirable is not to be a grammarian, it is because of the need to be precise in language to prevent misunderstanding and confusion.
