A power station was needed to provide the electricity - these are the boilers from the power station in Fonthill. There's some info about it here at Library Ireland:
On 28th July 1899 a site was acquired from John Godley at Fonthill to build a power station. This was equipped with two 100 h.p. steam driven dynamos, to produce current for the line at 500 volts. Some of the output, at a lower voltage, was available for lighting local houses. When the line closed the supply was continued for some time. Power was then being supplied to two churches, a convent, the Hermitage Golf Club and many houses in Lucan and District..

The building is still there, note the roof vent for steam.

Built by Galloways of Manchester - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_%26_J_Galloway_%26_Sons , which includes an 'exploded' sketch of a boiler with a similar face (1910) - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/30/Galloway_boil...

Fred Dean Snr. The Geohive maps are a bit more complicated than the old OSI Map Viewer, you can't simply copy the url. Instead you have to save the map (Share => disk symbol). You have to at least title the map and then you get a url. I think this link is what you were looking for.
