neart + ?

Ya know after neart, the noun changes form- neart airgid instead of airgead for example. Obviously you're using the plural with neart, lots of books, etc. and some things don't have a plural as such, as in 'money' as above, so you're writing 'neart airgid' which is the genitive all the time, but what about neart…

Genitive plural if it has one! Neart foclóirí, neart leabhar, neart comharthaí...
