    Use an actual IRC client, not openssl s_client. THat's only good to see the SSL handshake, really, of the connection, not to actually interact with a service. – Thomas Ward Dec 31 '17 at 18:23

openssl s_client is basically the SSL version of netcat. You can use it to set up a SSL/TLS connection to a server, and then send the protocol data. As you're connecting to a IRC server by the looks of the command, you'd have to send IRC protocol Commands.

But this is probably not what you want. You probably want to use a IRC client to connect to the IRC server. Suggested IRC clients are hexchat, irssi, and many others.
