Hey,

There are some IRC clients (XChat for one) that can be configured to work
through proxy servers. Another option is, does Lampeter have a centralised
server (akin to Aberystwyth University's "Central" server) that you could
connect to and get an IRC session out? Perhaps asking one of the people in
your IS department to help you out?

Another option may also be to ssh out to an external machine (if you're
able to ssh out) if you have one available then going on IRC from there.
