The nine-point win keeps Dublin’s provincial dreams alive and they now join Kilkenny, Wexford and either Offaly or Westmeath in the last four.
Johnny McGuirk’s side led by five points at half-time and extended their advantage after the break with a second-half goal from David Keogh.
The Dubs are searching for their first provincial title at this age group for the first time since 2012 after Kilkenny lifted the silverware in each of the last three years.
The last quarter-final takes place tomorrow (1pm) as Offaly and Westmeath meet at Cusack Park.
