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.

I'd guess from the shadows that it's looking more or less north but I don't see the sugarloaf.

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
rightleft.

OSI 25" map. We are looking North West up the oddly named Leitrim River according to the Ordnance survey, which I (and Google maps) have always called the Vartry. Streetview

Challenge for Flickroonies - is the tide going out, or coming in ?

In the wall to the right (at the corner of Leitrim Place and Bath Street), the 1908 25" shows a Letter Box. The NIAH says the letter box is an Edward VII and dates from 1905. I think I can see it in the Original Size of this image. So, unless the 1905 letter-box replaced an earlier one, we are after 1905.
