"triúr deirfiúracha" gets flagged with "The singular form is required here". It appears inconsistent, since "triúr ban" is accepted without complaint.

Go raibh míle maith agat as seo! This is a place where the Gramadóir diverges from the official standard... roughly speaking, it follows the rules as laid out in the Christian Brothers grammar (ed. published in 1994). That book has a "rule" that one should use the singular following triúr, ceathrar, etc. except for "bean", where the gen. plural "ban" should be used (13.a on p.79 if you have that book).

It happens that I'm working hard on a completely new grammar checker that will implement the Caighdeán as precisely as possible... not sure when it will be completed but hopefully this year. You can see the work here: https://github.com/kscanne/grammatach/tree/main/grammatach

Thanks for the report!
