Michael Duffy set Dane Massey up for the opener just after the half hour mark.
The Lilywhites dominated the second-half and they got their reward with 15 minutes to go as Daniel Kelly was fouled in the box, resulting in a spot kick.
David McMillan stepped up to fire the penalty home.
In today’s other FAI cup tie, Sligo Rovers beat First Division side UCD 3-1.

Kyle Callan-McFadden equalised in the 16th minute and Ronan Coughlan put Sligo in control with a header in the 66th minute.
Jesse Devers then sealed the win with a third goal 10 minutes before the end.
