Scott Bemand's side led 13-0 at the break.
Ireland have been knocked out of the Women's Rugby World Cup after an 18-13 defeat to France in the quarter finals.
Scott Bemand's side led 13-0 at the break, but were hit back by two second half tries and two penalties by the French to complete their comeback.
It brings an end to the campaign for Ireland, which included wins in the group stage over Japan and Spain before defeat to reigning champions New Zealand.
Offaly's Aoife Dalton and Ballinasloe's Béibhinn Parsons played the full game, while former Buccaneers player Anna McGann was introduced as a second half substitute alongside Laois' Eimear Corri-Fallon.
Dalton says it's a heartbreaking way to exit the tournament:
