3 things you will need from Ultimate++
- GUI
- Sockets
- Multithreading (if you want to manage many simultaneous connections)

Also, you will need to read the irc protocol:
http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/rfc.html

A quick Google search for 'irc "c++"' resulted in a few C++ libraries that already exist and a few examples as well. I would start there.

This one looks really good, its just a library that you can build and link your application with: http://libircclient.sourceforge.net/
