Here are three related searches that indicate that at least you can use "irle" and "irles"

[http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/search?query=irle+bien][1]

http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/search?source=auto&query=irle

http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/traduccion/debe+irles+mejor.html

I should note that in these contexts it does not mean to leave/go away, which is a pronomial/"reflexive" function, and la/las, lo/los, and le/les are not "reflexive" pronouns and are replaced by "se" in that function.

Here is an example of the use of "irle" according to my native speaking wife:

(From the view of a Spanish learner -this is not an easy construction.)

"A Juan no parece irle bien con su trabajo"

Seems a good question. I for one have not even thought of using IR with those attached.

I went to our SD translator just out of curiosity and found "irle" and "irse" I suggest you go there and have a look.

I do hope a native speaker will help us out here.

I have seen irme and irte. Does anybody know how to use irle in phrases that are useful? I am not for sure how to use irle in a sentence

The links I provided have many example sentences. "Irme", "Irte", and " Irse" can all have the standard reflexive meaning of "to go away" but "irle" does not. "Irle bien" can mean go well with/for from what I can tell. - bosquederoble, Apr 18, 2014
