Her passive does nothing against bumps (knockbacks, knockups) and suppressions : Alistar (jungle), Janna, Cho'gath, Warwick, Skarner (jungle), Malzahar ...

And champs with better sustain (Warwick, Udyr) / high range (kennen) harass can be good against her, having both is even better (Vlad, Yorick).

Champs with anti-AS spells are nice too (Malphite, Lee Sin... Nasus is more end-game so laning is not so easy for him against Irelia).

Many people says Olaf is a hard counter, and honestly he's not easy to handle with Irelia. Shen with his OP-status can do it well too.

There are many champs that can do well against Irelia (i just highlighted some of them), even teamplay could be enough (you must abuse of her weak early game with very early ganks and try to deny her xp and/or gold).
