The thing about irelia is that she has no early game. Her goal is to survive eraly game without giving up too many kills if at all. So if you let her farm, she will melt you in about 3 seconds late game. If an irelia player builds smart, she will melt you in mid game as well as kate game. So all u really need to do is deny her farm anyway you can. The thing is about irelia is that, she is a good farmer under her turret cause of her q. So pushing the lane to her turrret wont cut it. Your best chance is to kill her before she gets her stun ( or sometime in the early game) or ask your jungler to gank her A LOT. She is very hard to beat but if you deny her farm, she wont get her items quickly enough therfore pretty much taking her out of the game.
