Unless the IRLP connection is made directly to one of the Ports. Then CTCSS is irrelevent....
<---Actually, I want to clarify this a bit. If he plans on using a radio link between the controller and IRLP Node itself, CTCSS control is still irrelevant as we're not dealing with a repeating radio therefore there should be no hang time. In which case, the link xmtr can encode continuously without any "outside" control needed. Then all that matters is that the controller controlling the link radio (at the repeater end) doesn't pass IDs or courtesy tones down the link. And just about any controller will do that properly.
