Yorick is bullshit OP and dominates everybody top except Nasus... And anyway I think he was not asking for a particular champion, but rather some pro-tips so as to counter her lane dominance.

Basically, I would say you need to weigh the pros and the cons of harassing. She has decent sustain, and you may run out of mana before she runs out of health because of that. If you can afford harassing all the time, do it. Otherwise let her push so you can farm near your tower safely and try to beat her on CS. If you can get as farmed as she gets, you should be able to have the same impact as her when it's teamfight time. Once she pushes your lane, call your jungler for a gank.

There is no REAL hard counter o Irelia, and that is why she was considered the best solo top until recently. I think she is still one of the best, and much more balanced now. Fact is she has a very high skill cap, and if you face a very strong Irelia player, there is not much you can do...
