Irregardless is, in fact, not a word. As far as I can tell, it seems to be a misuse of the words regardless and irrespective. Somewhere along the line, someone probably combined the two words and it stuck.
Actually, when irregardless is broken down, it actually means the opposite of what the speaker intends. Regardless means "despite the present circumstances" or "not paying attention to the present situation." The prefix ir means "not" or "before." When ir and regardless are combined the new word, irregardless, actually means "regarding." This is the exact opposite of what the speaker means.
Since irregardless is not a word, there are no example sentences. Stick to something like this instead: I bought the shoes regardless of how they fit.
Memorization tip: Most of the time, when people say irregardless they mean regardless.
