Indeed I don't need to give any personal details if signing up for IRC,
in fact the only reason a irc server asks for an e-mail is as part of
the registration process for nickserv and If I understand tat correctly
this is so passwords can be e-mailed to users and users can recover lost
passwords.   I may be wrong maybe an irc admin on here can explain further.

Well surely you have those details anyway,  as part of the hotel booking
process.
