IRC in corporate enviroment

[Dennis Dayman <dennis-lists () thenose net>]

Looking for some pros cons to having IRC connectivity in a corporate environment. Our R&D guys would like to join some 
coding channels to get ideas and help, but we are hesitating to allow them for fear of a possible hole being opened via 
an IRC channel and client.

thoughts on pro's or cons?

what is the beat way to implement if it is deemed ok?
