Two ways:
su username -c "command to be executed by shell"
or
make ircu2 suid to the user in question. As root, do:
chown username.usergroup name-of-executable
chmod u+s name-of-executable.
The latter method may break things, and introduce unanticipated problems,
especially relating to security. Try the first method, and see how it works.
