Opener Andy Balbirnie anchored the Irish innings with 77 off 55 balls including 10 boundaries
With the early demise of both holders and four-times champions Italy and 1998 winners France, only two European former champions remain in the shape of Germany - three titles and 1996 winners England.
England now meet the Germans so one of that pair will fall by the wayside before the quarter-finals.
The other four European survivors - Holland, Slovakia, Spain and Portugal - have never lifted the trophy but the Dutch were finalists in 1974 and 1978 while Spain are reigning European champions and among the favourites.
Brazil - five titles to their name, and Argentina and Uruguay (two wins apiece) also remain as the only other former champions.
Of the remaining seven countries in the mix, only the United States (in 1930), Chile (1962) and South Korea (2002) have been as far as the semi-finals.
Mexico, Paraguay, Japan and Ghana make up the rest of the second round line-up.
