Pádraig guesses the entire film why Colm is avoiding him and doesn't really get a clear answer, it causes him to act in a way that's unusual for him.

One man gets drunk to build courage in two scenes, but beyond that, people don’t abuse alcohol. There is a lot of drinking and scenes of people getting drunk, but it’s depicted accurately as a part of rural Irish life.

The miniature donkey Jenny dies.
Here's how: (WARNING! it's pretty awful so only read ahead if you're prepared for that)
She chokes to death trying to eat a severed human finger. Her death is not shown on screen, but her body is shown laying by a pile of her vomit when her owner finds her, and he fishes the finger out of her mouth. It's pretty disturbing if you're sensitive to animal death.

Not technically but a lot of synonyms are.
Also there is a lot of ableism about unintelligent characters. It's actually the main theme.

In addition to the scene mentioned, in another scene, a garda talks about the death of a townsperson who died of suicide. The shopkeeper he talks to is very sympathetic, but the garda is harshly derivative of the person.

character who comes across as autistic is hated by most of the town, one character finds out he gets beaten by his father and she says that it’s good that he gets beaten and if she was able she’d beat him as well.
