The following must take the plural and their plural after numbers is not their normal plural:
bliain
uair
pingin
scilling
seachtain
fear
(I think Kerry includes glúin in this list)


Should "troigh" be added to this list?

trí troighe srl...

A Chionnfhaolaigh,

You're right of course, also orlach with the numerical plural orla (normal plural orlaí).
Also there is the occasional use of feara in the teens:

Seacht feara déag = Seventeen men.

It tends to avoid eclipses.
