No. "Irregardless" is not a word.

"Dictionaries that list the word "irregardless" list it as "non-standard." This means that they recognize the word has common use, but really isn't a proper word.

So, you can use the word as it is a "real" word, recognized by dictionaries, but you would be much better off using the proper word, regardless of the "trendy kids."
