You say, Lughaidh, "I've never seen "tosach/toiseach" in the plural so far..." Can you please give us an indication of how far (i.e., in what sources) you have investigated the matter to show us that your sample is a little larger than just your own personal experience?
I've not investigated that, I just wanted to say that I had never seen "tosach" in the plural although it's a common word. But if it is in FGB, it means that it does exist. But I think it's not common since I've never read it anywhere.
Yes, as I said, you may still be correct and although the plural exists, it might be better to consider the singular. I think it is something to refer to a native speaker, if possible.
