Are there any IRC libraries available for Java that would allow me to grab a user's IP address?

More importantly, the IRC protocol doesn't let you see other users' IP addresses, so, no, there isn't. :)

That's more a network specific setting than anything. A simple WHOIS on a user returns their IP on a lot of major networks (Freenode, QuakeNet, etc.) –  Timr Dec 13 '12 at 21:20
