No, irregardless is not a real word. When someone says it, they mean to say regardless.
The word doesn't even make sense because "ir" and "less" both mean not or without, so they cancel each other out. The technical term, then, is holding something with regard. But this isn't even a real world, so the meaning is irrelevant.
You might hear it in popular culture (I even had to do a double take when I heard it on the television the other day!), but just remember that it's not a word, no matter who uses it incorrectly.
