Solution

do not use floar: left inside your li, it will cause your vertical-align no worked,

ul,
    li {
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0
    }
    
    li {
        list-style-type: none;
    }
    
    .ir_home_news li {
        border-top: 1px solid #ebebeb;
        padding: 10px;
    }
    
    .ir_home_news li:nth-child(even) {
        background-color: #f8f8f8;
    }
    
    .ir_home_news li::after {
        content: "";
        clear: both;
        display: table;
    }
    
    .ir_home_news li div {
        display: table-cell;
        vertical-align: middle;
        padding: 0px 15px;
        border-right: 1px solid red;
    }
    
    .ir_home_news li div:last-child {
        border-right: none;
    }
    
    .ir_home_newsDate {
        width: 18%;
        margin-bottom: 10px;
        font-size: 18px;
        color: #003087;
    }
    
    .ir_home_newsTitle {
        width: 65%;
        font-size: 17px;
        color: #003087;
    }
    
    .ir_home_button {
        width: 10%;
    }
    
    .ir_home_button button {
        background-color: #003087;
        color: #fff;
        padding: 15px 25px;
        border-radius: 0;
        font-size: 13px;
    }

<ul class="ir_home_news">
        <li class="si_fixed">
            <div class="ir_home_newsDate">18 November 2016</div>
            <div class="ir_home_newsTitle">Disclosure Of Interest</div>
            <div class="ir_home_button">
                <a href="">
                    <button>VIEW DETAILS</button>
                </a>
            </div>
        </li>
        <li class="si_fixed">
            <div class="ir_home_newsDate">18 November 2016</div>
            <div class="ir_home_newsTitle">Disclosure Of Interest</div>
            <div class="ir_home_button">
                <a href="">
                    <button>VIEW DETAILS</button>
                </a>
            </div>
        </li>
        <li class="si_fixed">
            <div class="ir_home_newsDate">18 November 2016</div>
            <div class="ir_home_newsTitle">Disclosure Of Interest</div>
            <div class="ir_home_button">
                <a href="">
                    <button>VIEW DETAILS</button>
                </a>
            </div>
        </li>
    </ul>

I just remove all float: left inside your li

.ir_home_newsDate {
    width: 18%;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    font-size: 18px;
    color: #003087;
}

.ir_home_newsTitle {
    width: 65%;
    font-size: 17px;
    color: #003087;
}

.ir_home_button {
    width: 10%;
}
