    On the 25" OSI Map the lower reservoir is already there, but the upper is "in construction. (You have to zoom right in to see them, though.)

    Wikipedia article on the Vartry reservoirs. The lower one was completed between 1863-68, the upper in 1923. The engineer was Parke Neville, the Dublin City and Waterworks Engineer. Plus a 1906 Postcard of the Vartry Reservoir in Stillorgan that this fed into.

    derangedlemur I tried wandering around the reservoir on streetview, but eventually gave up. That said, this doesn't look too far off. The Sugarloaf is off to the right left.
