Is there anything to be done

Not sure if this is the right place or anything that can be done. There is an elderly lady I've got chatting to quite often that I'm pretty sure is living in her car, visits family to avoid her oh as I think he is a bit hands on. I know it's all a bit airy fairy but these things always are and to be frank I'm in no way qualified to deal with these things but is there somewhere to contact that would contact her. Apologies for the vagueness of post

What do you mean by ‘hands on’ ? Violent?

Hi OP,

Could you just ask her if she is having problems? You may not be able to help directly but you could share resources such as:

https://www.womensaid.ie/services/helpline.html

https://www.safeireland.ie/get-help/where-to-find-help/dublin/

https://www.aoibhneas.ie/

http://www.saoirsewomensrefuge.ie/

Anyone of the site above would provide the help she may need.

All the best!

Hi OP

just a word of advice. you cannot help someone against their will. not that you have said anything to indicate that is the case, but just my experience is some people are very proud, and can refuse help that they need. Tread carefully and ensure you dont move ahead too far without her complete consent.
