Well everyone says Irelia "needs" a solo lane to do well, but that's not entirely true. What she NEEDS is farm, but you can do that in a duo lane too, i.e. steal the shit out of every minion with Q. No worries about your lane partner being a useless mofo since you'll carry his ass after Triforce. I too play with low level people and I'm usually forced to duo and I usually have Philo's/Triforce/Merc Boots by ~22 minutes, don't really know how good that is compared to solo lane Irelia but, compared to everyone else in the game, I'm usually the most farmed, even more than mid. It's not all bad news, too. Irelia is a crazy good lane partner early game, with her CC and burst it's easy to net a few kills for you and the your useless bro.
