Theorem
Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be a non-empty Hausdorff space.
Then the irreducible components of $T$ are the singleton sets.
Proof
By Subspace of Hausdorff Space is Hausdorff, the irreducible components of $T$ are also Hausdorff.
By Irreducible Hausdorff Space is Singleton, they can only be singletons.
By Trivial Topological Space is Irreducible, every singleton of $X$ is indeed irreducible.
