Could some-one please confirm if the following translations are correct:

Five hundred thousand, six hundred and twelve dogs.

Cúig chéad míle, sé chéad agus dhá mhadra agus fiche.

Would there be a better way of saying it?

How about a monetary amount:

Two hundred and fifty four thousand, eight hundred and nineteen Euro and seventeen cent.

Dhá chéad agus ceithre mhíle agus caoga, ocht gcéad agus naoi Euro déag agus seacht cent déag.

Would you have: "naoi Euro déag", but then use "agus" after that? As in "naoi Euro agus fiche", "naoi Euro agus tríocha"?
