Malta and Ireland benefit from having an official language. The EU employs Irish and Maltese translators in extremely well paid tax-free jobs.

Maybe Austria would do it? It's the only EU country I can think of that doesn't claim to have its own language. Edit: also Belgium and Luxembourg.

Yes but it's not their "official" EU language. I don't know if they nominated German or simply didn't nominate one at all as German was already official.
