Scotland scored first in the opening minute through Callum Young, who finished with three tries, but a 12-minute hat-trick from Martin put Ireland in control. They led 36-16 at the break, Peter Johnston with two tries to go with his total of eight goals for a 24 point haul.
Toby Burton-Carter and Phil Roberts also crossed for Ireland, former Paralympian James McCarthy scoring a try in the 47th minute on his debut in the sport, while Martin claimed his fourth to wrap-up victory.
