Eidsvollsmann, Kansleriråd, Sorenskriver i Indre Sogn.
Politisk holdning: Selvstendighetspartiet Representerte: Nordre Bergenhus amt (1. representant) Alder i 1814: 39 år I forbindelse med behandlingen av stemmerettsreglene tok Irgens til orde for at næringsdrivende på landet skulle ha stemmerett selv om de ikke eide jord. Utover dette bidro han - i motsetning til sine standsfeller - nesten aldri i riksforsamlingens debatter. I unionsspørsmålet holdt han med selvstendighetspartiet.
